The third audiobook of the Tales of the Scavenger’s Daughters series, Bitter Winds follows the saga of Chinese couple Benfu and Calli, and the abandoned young women in their care.

Even after a decade of pain, Ivy remains closely tethered to Lily - her blind twin sister - and haunted by her mother’s admission the night their home burned, almost taking Lily’s life: “I’m sorry. Take care of your sister.” Years later, as Lily begins to navigate the world on her own, the police mistakenly toss the blind girl in a cell, and Ivy realizes she must find her twin at all costs…even if that means risking her own freedom.

After Benfu and Calli’s long-lost daughter, Li Jin, finally reunited with her birth parents, she opened a shelter for unwanted children, turning her fortunes from destitution and abuse to family and fulfillment. But her friend Sami remains consumed by bitterness - and Li Jin soon realizes she needs to make a difficult choice between helping someone from the past or nurturing her own future.

this book was alright. I liked it better then the second book in the series. a couple of the characters are kinda too naive for my liking. but I still really like the overall basis of this series. I give an overall 4 because the reader did a good job (gave 5 stars) and the book was good but the two characters who were naive annoyed me (which is why I gave the story 3 stars). I recommend this if you are invested in the series already.

alright book

Book Three in the Scavenger's Daughters Series is just as good as the first two. Benfu and Calli have found their daughter which was stolen as a baby (Dahlia), who choses to keep the name given her at the orphanage . . . Li Jin. Together they have opened a shelter for unwanted children, continuing and expanding the work that her parents began many years before. Ivy and Lily, their adopted twins are teenagers now, but still just as deeply attached. Lily, the blind twin, is a brilliant violinist and determined to learn to navigate the world more independently. But when she asks her twin, Ivy to leave her alone in the park to play her violin for a few minutes, she is arrested for panhandling and thrown in jail. Then later into a mental hospital, accused of being a political enemy of the government. Listen to Bitter Winds . . . Let it sink in. . . and Thank God for the freedom to think, to speak, to live in a country that doesn't knowingly accuse the innocent, that doesn't conduct "re-education" courses, and house healthy people in mental asylums.

ABSOLUTELY captivating and creative writing that draws you in and keeps you entertained for hours and the characters are realistic and diverse. I highly recommended this novel, wonderfully written and narrated.

Li Jing had been stolen from her parents as an infant. Although having a very harsh childhood, this book tells of her reuniting with her parents and finding her place in a family. Another tale of China and Ben Fu and Callie. Worth the read!

If you are an orphan then please read this novel. Let it help you to bring down the walls you have built up to keep people from getting close to you.

Once more, tales of the scavengers daughter's. A page-turner, and so many emotions go along with this story. I only gave it 4 stars this time as somehow the story feels unresolved....it just ends...It didn't tie up the loose ends. Many unanswered parts....I still loved the storyline though. The reader is fantastic.

almost 5 stars

Kate Rudd narrator I just can’t get used to her style. I have read this series because I enjoy the author. But I think the narrator changes this for me.

Narrator makes me dislike it
