Maria’s future holds extraordinary promise and fame. But what about Ming?
Ming’s time on Nantucket will revolutionise all she believes about herself, her family, and Herstory too.
In this final book in the Girls Who Changed the World series, Ming Qong discovers who she is, and how she, too, will change the world.
