|  | Yanyan by Lensey Namioka
Xueyan, known as Yanyan, knows about outsiders. The teachers at her school are missionaries from America, and she never forgets that they are outsiders. Still, Yanyan has excelled at the missionary school and is eager to finish her last year there. Since she was 12, she has been fascinated by medicine, and planned to become a doctor. But even now, ten years after the Revolution of 1911, it is unusual for a woman to attend a university, let alone medial school. While most 16-year-old girls are planning their weddings, Yanyan has no interest in marriage. But that's before she meets Liang Baoshu. Passionate and dangerous, Baoshu offers Yanyan an adventurous life by his side. But when Yanyan realizes that being with Baoshu would also mean sacrificing her dream of being a doctor, she faces the most difficult decision of her life. And her choice leads to an entirely new adventure an ocean away in America--where Yanyan is the outsider. AUTHOR: Lensey Namioka
