In the village of Huanan  in medieval China  the deity that rules is the Great Huli Jing. Though twelve-year-old Li Jings name is a different character entirely from the Huli Jing  the sound is close enough to provide constant teasing-but maybe is also a source of greater destiny and power. Jings life isnt easy. Her father is a poor tea farmer  and her family has come to the conclusion that in order for everyone to survive  Jing must be sacrificed for the common good. She is sold as a bride to the Koh family  where she will be the wife and nursemaid to their three-year-old son  Junan. Its not fair  and Jing feels this bitterly  especially when she is treated poorly by the Kohs  and sold yet again into a worse situation that leads Jing to believe her only option is to run away  and find home again. With the help of a spider who weaves Jing a means to escape  and a nightingale who helps her find her way  Jing embarks on a quest back to Huanan--and to herself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44964424581173,"sku":"ByrdShop_0545767032","price":30.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780545767033_1b650a93-b384-4d4d-87e6-55796e282b1b.jpg?v=1770460667","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-crystal-ribbon","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
