At five, he mastered Liszt's three \u003ci\u003eLiebesträume\u003c\/i\u003e; at eight, he blazed through the complete set of Chopin's études. And at every step, through loss, illness and poverty, Song has been there to light his way--until finally, at the age of eleven, River is invited to study with a preeminent teacher in Beijing.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e But in the chaos of Beijing Railway Station on the busiest day of the year, Song faces every mother's nightmare: she loses her grip on River's little hand and is unable to find him after a desperate, harrowing search.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Over the next days, weeks, and eventually, years, Song and River fight to forge a path back to each other as they carve out new lives that carry them farther apart. An evocative exploration of a mother's love and a son's yearning, \u003ci\u003eLittle Wonder\u003c\/i\u003e takes us on an extraordinary journey through a modern Beijing that pulses with the music of humanity and its impossible--and impossibly brave--hopes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e As every musician knows: You start in one key. You wander to other keys, strange and distant places. But in the end, you always come back home.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e'Extraordinary ...
