Barbara Demicks Reportage erzählt die Geschichte der chinesischen Zwillinge Fangfang und Shuangjie, geboren 2000. Sie sind nicht die ersten Kinder ihrer Eltern und deshalb ein Dorn im Auge der Behörden. Doch der Versuch, die Zwillinge vor dem Staat zu schützen, scheitert. Fangfang wird ihrer Familie entrissen und zur Adoption freigegeben. Von einer christlichen Familie aufgenommen, wächst sie unter dem Namen Esther in Texas auf - unwissend, entführt worden zu sein.
