Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children\'s paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost \"in the stacks\" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as \"1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores\", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan.

First line

ACCORDING TO Chinese folklore a special goddess, named Songzi Niangniang, "the princess who sends children," is responsible for delivering babies into the world and for safeguarding them during the first perilous weeks after birth.

From the rear cover

"Yue's book is a terrifying memoir of more than two decades of party-directed persecution, the most vivid account to date of the violence of the Maoist years."--Jonathan Mirsky, London Times Literary Supplement "A valuable report on a world from which we have had little news, by an intelligent woman survivor who was at the center of the turbulence."--Barbara Probst Solomon, New York Times "It is Yue's tremendous capacity to endure suffering, physical and mental, and her equally strong recall of minute and significant detail, that make one listen very hard to her quiet, candid voice as it weaves this complex, rich, and durable fabric of words."--Thomas D'Evelyn, Christian Science Monitor "This stirring autobiography . . . is a testament to the human spirit."--Fran Rosenberg, New Directions for Women "A particularly poignant and painful book because [Yue], a well-known intellectual at Peking University, still manages to retain her faith in the Chinese Communist party, even thought this faith is more thoughtful and less unquestioning by the end of her account of 30 turbulent years."--Elizabeth Wright, London Daily Telegraph
