Gill Puckridge explores turning sixty, uprooting her life, and traveling to China. Deep fried cockroaches, dancing the cha-cha under the stars, and backpacking up the Li River were the mildest of her experiences. Throw in some miscommunication over cultural customs and you have the recipe for an exciting, and often hilarious, journey to China. An inspiration for anyone looking for youthful wonder in their golden years.

Gillybean in China is the first book in a series about Gillybean's adventures around the world.
