First Lines...

" A Chinese saying goes: "In good fortune is always some misfortune, and in misfortune, always some good fortune.

Maybe they're right. After losing both my parents at twentyeight, I was abandoned - penniless - into this treacherous Ten Thousand Miles of Red Dust.

Or so I thought... "
Song of the Silk Road by Mingmei Yip (release date March 29, 2011!)

    That is a good saying. And it sounds like a really good story too. I wonder what the ten thousand miles of red dust is.

    I think I would read this book based on the cover alone.
