Every purchase helps someone affected by leprosy
China, 1800s. Little Flower is sold as a domestic servant to Linjing's family when they are both only children. Jealous of her new handmaiden's ladylike bound feet and talent for embroidery, Linjing ensures Little Flower can never leave her to ascend in society.
Despite their different places in the household, over the years the two must put aside their bitter rivalry to secure both their futures through Linjing's marriage . . . Until scandal strikes the family, and Linjing and Little Flower's lives are thrown into chaos.
Linjing's fall from grace could be an opportunity for Little Flower - but will their intertwined fates lead to triumph, or tragedy for them both?
Jane Yang's masterful storytelling depicts the traditions and customs of China in the late 1800s, where footbinding could change a girl's status in society.

Your purchase can help to end leprosy. Shopping with us will help fund leprosy research which is vital to ending leprosy transmission by 2035. Recent developments in genotyping strains of leprosy have improved accuracy of finding the source of transmission, meaning tracking and tracing of cases can be much more effective. There is also a PCR test for leprosy being developed which would be a game changer in faster and more accurate diagnosis of leprosy.
