The title comes from the Chinese proverb Those who are destined to meet are connected by an invisible red thread. It may stretch, twist, or tangle but will never break. This book recounts events and circumstances that shaped and determined the course of Eleanors life. Her childhood in a loving family, church, schooling, scouting, camping, and friendships were all important to her. Her marriage to a Chinese man in 1950 was unusual in the South. Their work, studies, family, trips with anecdotes of people and places are included. Descriptions of China since 1973 recount the many changes she has witnessed and give a unique perspective.
