Young  Alumnae HouseCost: $10R.S.V.P. at alumnae.agnesscott.edu/Decatur-Readers23 by Wednesday, Oct. 18The United States and China are today at a crossroads. Will these great countries be enemies, or will they be engaged with each other?

Using vivid diary and letter records, her memoir describes being a missionary kid in Asia, studying China from afar, leading the first exchanges of students, being a college president, and establishing an American university in China. Bullock, an optimist and long-term participant, concludes with today’s uncertainty as Duke University, Ford Foundation, China Medical Board, United Board and National Committee on US–China Relations, and others face a new era of relations with China.
