Product Description
Irrepressible memories. Vacant eyes. A child being dangled from a third tale window. A boy tied to a chair. Children sleeping in layers of clothing to fight off the bitter cold. An infant dying from starvation. Some things your mind will never allow you to forget.
Silent Tears is the right tale of the misfortune and triumphs one woman faced as she fought against the Chinese bureaucracy to help that country’s orphaned children.
In 2003, Kay Bratt’s life changed dramatically. A wife and mother of two girls in South Carolina, Bratt relocated her family tree to rural China to support her spouse as he took on a new management position for his American employer. Seeking a way to fill her days and overcome the isolation she veteran upon arriving in a foreign country, Bratt started volunteering at the local orphanage. Within months, her simple desire to make use of her time transformed into a heroic campaign to improve the living conditions and minimize the unnecessary deaths of Chinese orphans.
Silent Tears traces the emotional hurdles and daily frustrations faced by Ms. Bratt as she tried to change the social conditions for these marginalized children. The memoir vividly illustrates how she was able to pull from reservoirs of inner might to pursue her mission day after day, leaving the reader with the loud message that everyone really can make a difference.

I painstakingly loved reading this book. The authur is a freind of a relative of mine. I was on her email list while she was in China. I cried everytime I read an update and couldn’t wait for the next one. I reflect what Kay did while in China is incredible and inspiring. God bless persons children.

I am so grateful for this book. I will pass it to anyone who, in my family tree, reflect that i overanalyze things and that I am overprotecting her. My daughter comes from one of the “best” orphanage of Changsha (so I’ve heard) At 11 months ancient, she still could not sit up and had no facial expression. And to the woman who thinks we are condescending to the Chinese, I want to point out that no matter the culture, this situation is unacceptable. I do not beleive it is the ‘Chinese’ people fault’s. It is a human condition that could and is happening all over the world, but what is of interest to us right now in this book is happening in China and I am sorry you don’t get that. The politically right is not permanently the way to go. Horrors should be denounced. When we say that these children are not treated the way human children should be treated, we don’t judge the Chinese people, we judge the Human race for letting these things take place and not talking about it does not permanently help.
