The Vine Basket

Things arenâ€™t looking good for fourteen-year-old Mehrigul. She yearns to be in school, but sheâ€™s needed on the family farm. The longer sheâ€™s out of school, the more likely it is that sheâ€™ll be sent off to a Chinese factory . . . perhaps never to return. Her only hope is an American woman who buys one of her decorative vine baskets for a staggering sum and says she will return in three weeks for more. Mehrigul must brave terrible storms, torn-up hands from working the fields, and her fatherâ€™s scorn to get the baskets done. The stakes are high, and time is passing. A powerful intergenerational story of a strong, creative young artist in a cruelly oppressive society.
