Hear first hand what it was like to grow up as an Asian adoptee in America and her surprise reunion. An uplifting story of one woman’s journey that both an adoptee and adopted parents will enjoy.
Lucky Girl is about one woman's surprise reunion and relationship with the complicated Chinese family that gave her up for adoption when she was a baby.
