Unbound Feet: Finding Freedom in Communist China

By Kim Orendor

Book Overview

There is no way that the thirteen-year-old wallflower me could have conceived of a day when I would dance-voluntarily-in the halftime show of the Chinese University Basketball Association championship that was broadcast to millions of people. But I did.

While teaching at an international university in Henan Province, I took time to re-examine all aspects of my life: relationships, faith, and expectations. The journey wasn't always smooth and sometimes I felt as if I was moving backward, but I was better and stronger for the experience.

When I left China in 2011, I was ready to restart my life in the United States. However, I wasn't ready to give up the lessons I'd learned or the freedom I'd attained while living there.

While I haven't danced as much since returning stateside, every now and then the spirit moves me, and this former wallflower busts a move.
