Young Xing Xing is bound. Bound to her dead father's second wife and daughter. Bound to be alone and unmarried, with no parents to arrange for a suitable husband. Bound to a life of servitude, taking care of her half sister, who cannot walk because her feet are bound in the painful but compulsory tradition for marriageable girls. In this searing story, Donna Jo Napoli delves into the roots of the Cinderella myth and unearths a tale as powerful as it is familiar.

Available only in The Literacy Bridge 5.
