Review & giveaway: The Private Papers of Eastern Jewel by Maureen Lindley

An eight year old princess has witnessed her father's passionate tryst with a fourteen year old servant.  When the truth becomes known about what Eastern Jewel has seen, she is moved to a new home in Japan and acquires a new family. Eastern Jewel is a free spirit who cannot be contained. Her rebellious nature is not deterred even when it becomes time for Mongolia to become a submissive house wife. This is when the real adventure begins.

Talk about not being able to put a book down!  I was so captivated by this book that I'm at a loss for words on how to describe it.
