Author Description

"The World Regained" takes the reader inside a Chinese work/study school for the re-education of juvenile delinquents. The author vividly recreates the life within the school, the atmosphere of confinement and release. The tough, tradition bound teachers in the school rely on discipline to reform their criminal charges, generating an attitude of mutual suspicion. Into this tense and confrontational arena comes a young female teacher with a new idea, a willingness to communicate with the teenagers and to lead them towards a better future."
