She is a member of the Uyghur tribe, a group oppressed by the Chinese government. She yearns to be in school, but she's needed on the family farm. The longer she's out of school, the more likely it is that she'll be sent off to a Chinese factory, perhaps never to return. Her only hope is an American who buys one of her decorative baskets for a staggering sum and says she will return in three weeks for more. Mehrigul must brave storms, torn-up hands from working the fields, and her alcoholic father's scorn to get the baskets done. The stakes are high, and time is passing... will Mehrigul's hard work be enough?]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C2870981</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C2870981</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[La Valley, Josanne]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2870981030</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780547848013/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Vine Basket]]></title><description><![CDATA[Life has been hard for fourteen-year-old Mehrigul, a member of the Uyghur tribal group scorned by the Chinese communist regime, so when an American offers to buy all the baskets she can make in three weeks, Mehrigul strives for a better future for herself and her family despite her father's opposition.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C2946876</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C2946876</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[La Valley, Josanne]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2946876030</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780547848051/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
