Shanghai Diary: A Young Girl's Journey from… par Ursula Bacon
I cannot say I enjoyed this book because the subject is not an enjoyable one. I can say this book touched my heart and my soul. I have never read a book about the Shanghai Jewish refugees. To read what they endured was a learning experience. I am glad this book fell into my hands.
I'm almost finished with this book and I've been enmeshed in the story. This book makes one really think about what it's like an American and how persecution existed in both China and here during the McCarthy Era. I'm really enjoying it.
I highly recommend this book

Her "Eternal Strangers" was mostly about her parents. "Shanghai Diary" is more detailed and truely gripping.
Chapter 15 begins the memoir of Ursula, a gripping tale of teenage ingenuousness survival; growing up fast.
If you get a chance hear her tale in person.
