Synopsis

With the bad memories of the Cultural Revolution and a life of hard work behind them, Benfu and his treasured Calla Lily are content watching their daughters blossom—six young women who they adopted as their own. But when a clue to the whereabouts of the biological daughter they lost decades ago suddenly surfaces, they begin a frantic search to find their beloved Dahlia…Li Jin has lived thirty years at the mercy of cruel foster parents and a bleak orphanage, often surviving on the streets. But now that she has a son, she must try to make a better life for them—even if it means withstanding the abuse of a seedy foreigner in exchange for a home. But when Erik’s treatment turns truly sadistic, she must find a way to escape once and for all…A beautiful yet haunting story about the “lost girls” of China, Tangled Vines takes us on a journey of heartbreak and then hope as we witness a woman’s quest to change her fate and a family’s last chance to untangle the lies of the past.

Goodreads review by Tara on December 10, 2013

I have one complaint right off the bat...this is part of a trilogy. Trilogy means there is only THREE books. I want a book for every single daughter!! That being said, as you can see, book two of the Scavenger's Daughters did not disappoint me. I will admit to having a harder time with Dahlia's story......more

Goodreads review by Jennifer on January 08, 2015

I enjoyed this book even more than I did the first one, "The Scavenger's Daughters". Although written in a simplistic style the sentiment of the story is beautiful and intriguing enough to keep you turning the pages. This novel concentrated less on Benfu and Calli's adopted daughters and more upon t......more

Goodreads review by Sharon on March 22, 2014

The beautiful first book of this series, The Scavenger's Daughters, has continued in beauty, finesse, and wonder into the second book of this series. A bridge book (the middle book of a series of three) is often difficult and many times lacking in substance or plot or satisfaction in movement toward......more

TANGLED VINES provides an interesting perspective into modern Chinese society, an evolving structure that is still dealing with the aftermath of Mao’s one child policy and the losses caused by the Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution. Linnae is a young clothing designer who is just beginning to......more
