Description

“I’m so hungry, I could eat anything. Anything at all.”

In a drought-stricken corner of rural China, an education may also be the difference between a life of crushing poverty and the chance for a better future. But for Ma Yan, money is scarce, and the low wages paid for backbreaking work don’t seem to be at all times enough to pay school fees . . . or even to provide enough food for herself and her circle of relatives.

Ma Yan’s heart-wrenching, honest diary chronicles her struggle to escape hardship through her persistent, infrequently desperate, attempts to continue her schooling. Its publication was once an international sensation, creating an outpouring of fortify for this courageous teenager and others like her . . . all because of one odd girl’s abnormal diary.
