Description

The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane A Novel by Lisa See In the remote mountain village of the Akha people, tradition and ritual are woven into the fabric of daily life. For generations, the villagers have aligned their lives with the seasons and the farming of tea. But when a stranger arrives at the village gate in a jeep, the modern world slowly begins to seep into their lives. As the villagers struggle to adapt to change, one young woman, Li-yan, begins to question the customs that have shaped her early life. When she has a baby out of wedlock, she makes a choice that will change the course of her life and the lives of those she loves. The story that unfolds is a powerful exploration of circumstances, culture, and distance, and the unbreakable bonds of family. Through the eyes of Li-yan and her daughter, Haley, who is raised in California by loving adoptive parents, the novel paints a vivid portrait of a little-known region and its people. A poignant and unforgettable tale of love, loss, and the search for meaning, The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane is a story that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt the weight of tradition and the power of family.
