Falling Leaves recounts the story of Adeline's life.
Adeline's father, stepmother and their two children were the upper class, whereas Adeline and the four other step-children by the first wife were considered second class. She was half French and half Chinese and divided the Yen family into two different classes. Her father remarried a beautiful Eurasian woman one year later. Her mother died two weeks after her birth and Adeline was considered to be a source of bad luck by her family. A compelling, painful, and ultimately triumphant story of a girl's journey into adulthood, Adeline's story is a testament to the most basic of human needs: acceptance, love, and understanding.Īdeline Yen Mah was born in Tianjin, China. Falling Leaves recounts the story of the author’s life in China and the tragedies that had overshadowed her life. South Coast Repertory will present a staged reading of Chinese American author Adeline Yen Mah’s best-selling book entitled Falling Leaves: The Memoir of an Unwanted Chinese Daughter on the Julianne Argyros Stage.
