Russell was asked by a friend, Alex, to accompany her to China to help her pick up the baby she and her husband were adopting. While parents usually m ake the trip together, Alex's husband had to stay home to care for another child. Russell didn't know Alex all that well, but agreed to go anyway. In this offbeat memoir, Russell describes the trip. It wasn't long into it bef ore she noticed signs of Alex's ambivalence-- she'd brought no camera to do cument the baby's adoption, and she'd refused to spend more time in China t han was absolutely necessary. Meanwhile, Russell was having heavily symboli c dreams: she was an empress of China pregnant with an illegitimate child w ho had to be given away for adoption. Before long, Alex confessed that she didn't want this baby after all, and Russell fell in love with the baby her self. In the end, Russell brought home the baby she felt she was meant to h ave.
