Daughters of the Bamboo Grove

Daughters of the Bamboo Grove recounts the compelling story of twins separated by China's one-child policy, with one born in a bamboo grove and the other adopted in the United States. Uncovering the complex and often darker realities behind international adoption and child trafficking, journalist Barbara Demick explores the cultural and political landscape of China during this period. The narrative highlights the ethical questions surrounding adopted children’s origins and the broader implications of China’s population policies.
