SONG OF THE SILK ROAD
by MINGMEI YIP
SYNOPSIS (borrowed from B&N):
In this richly imaginative novel, Mingmei Yip--author of Peach Blossom Pavilion and Petals From the Sky--follows one woman's daunting journey along China's fabled Silk Road.
As a girl growing up in Hong Kong, Lily Lin was captivated by photographs of the desert--its long, lonely vistas and shifting sand dunes. Now living in New York, Lily is struggling to finish her graduate degree when she receives an astonishing offer. An aunt she never knew existed will pay Lily a huge sum to travel across China's desolate Taklamakan Desert--and carry out a series of tasks along the way. Intrigued, Lily accepts. Her assignments range from the dangerous to the bizarre. Lily must seduce a monk. She must scrape a piece of clay from the famous Terracotta Warriors, and climb the Mountains of Heaven to gather a rare herb. At Xian, her first stop, Lily meets Alex, a young American with whom she forms a powerful connection. And soon, she faces revelations that will redefine her past, her destiny, and the shocking truth behind her aunt's motivations. . .
Powerful and eloquent, Song of the Silk Road is a captivating story of self-discovery, resonant with the mysteries of its haunting, exotic landscape.

No I do not believe in destiny, nothing is set in stone and ultimately I believe it is us that creates our own future.

An interesting question and one that I am not completely certain about but most days I believe in free will and the ability of people to shape their lives and, therefore, I don't believe in a strict definition of destiny. But sometimes it seems as if our path has already been determined and no matter what we do, we'll end up where we were always ment to. It's a fasinating topic and a great theme for authors & books, as well as discussions!
Thank you for this giveaway!
