can hardly believe her eyes when she sees her new home in San Francisco.
They would never be able to live in such a fine house if they had stayed

be worth the sacrifices. Shannon and her siblings must learn to get along
in this new place. They learn about different customs and different lifestyles.
When Shannon wanders into Chinatown, she is appalled at the frightening
site she finds. Shannon decides to help a young Chinese girl who is being
held as a slave. Will Shannon be successful or will her impulsiveness get
her into trouble? Read SHANNON to find out. |
