Not your China doll : the wild and shimmering life of Anna May Wong / Katie Gee Salisbury.

It all started with a dream
Frosted yellow willows
Happiness must be earned
Year of the flapper
The girl who can't help being Chinese
Curious beasts
The prodigal daughter returns
Nobody's China doll
Eating bitterness
Forbidden blossom
China through the looking glass
Trying not to try
These foolish things
Hearts that know no other land
The woman who died a thousand deaths.
