“In A Thread Unbroken, Kay Bratt weaves a beautiful tale of heartbreak, sorrow and perseverance fueled by love. Although a work of fiction, Bratt uses real life tales of child abduction and forced marriages to create a story of the unbreakable bond of a father and daughter, determined to be reunited.” —Denise Grover Swank, USA Today bestselling author“Kay Bratt, an advocate for children from China, provides a fascinating glimpse of childhood in the world’s largest country. The main characters are young girls with a very loving father, dispelling the myth that Chinese do not value daughters. Yet it also shows the shadowy side of the girls’ lives when they are abducted to be sold, a practice that lamentably has not been completely suppressed. You will learn about the joys and hardships of growing up female in Asia, with plenty of thrills along the way to keep you reading.” —Mingmei Yip, author of Skeleton Women and Song of the Silk Road“In this novelized yet all-too-real tale of two kidnapped Chinese children trying to find their way home, advocate turned author Kay Bratt focuses her story-telling sights on one of China’s least addressed issues: human trafficking.” —Tom Carter, author of CHINA: Portrait of a People
