Overview

Journey to China is an unforgettable story that sweeps the reader not only into adventures when a family of six from a small desert farming community in the southwestern United States begin the trip to China. Share their adventures as they experience China’s centuries-old customs battling with modern-day philosophies as an economic and militaristic country. As they learn to bridge the language barrier, there is new respect for the Chinese people who have been inventors, artists, musicians, and more for over three thousand years. In the countryside, the families find a quiet and calm environment. On the return trip home, they encounter an earthquake within the Ring of Fire followed by a tidal wave that may jeopardize their lives along with the other 300 passengers in a crippled airplane. Will they be able to utilize their ingenuity and create a miracle to save themselves?
