"Even if you have tried and failed, even if thousands of thousands before you have tried and failed, I want my chance too!"

The above is said by a little girl called Dawan in Sing to the Dawn by Minfong Ho. I find this book stangely inspiring. The book has a very simple plot, somewhat like that of The 5 People You meet in Heaven. The book speaks of a little girl's perseverence and will to change not only her life, but also the life of others in the poor village that she lives in. Growing up in an Asian context whereby males dominate females, Dawan's rights were taken away even though she deserved so much more.

In it, you will witness the pride and integrity that she fought courageously for. Truely touching.



Read it in a day and you will see.
