Adeline Yen Mah is a physician and writer who lives in Huntington Beach,
California. Falling Leaves is her first book. Recently she completed
her second, a book for children entitled Chinese Cinderella, which
will be published by Dell in October 1999. Adeline is dedicating both
books to unwanted children in the hope that they will persist to do their
best in the face of despair, to believe that in the end their spirit will
prevail, and to nurture their childhood traumas into a source of courage,
creativity, and compassion.
Falling Leaves is Adeline's plea to the collective conscience of
the world to win a reprieve. It is a symbol of her quest for justice on
behalf of unloved children.
Royalties from Falling Leaves are donated by the author to a foundation
modeled after the Rhodes Scholarship Program to enable students to study
at universities in Beijing and Shanghai.
