Literary awards - National Book Award Finalist for Young People's Literature (2013)

Saints by Gene Luen Yang, the companion to Boxers, tells the moving story of Four-Girl, an unloved child in 1898 China who finds purpose and a new name—Vibiana—through Christianity. But as the Boxer Rebellion rages, she is caught between loyalty to her people and her newfound faith. Facing violence and persecution, Vibiana must decide where her heart truly lies, and whether she has the courage to die for her beliefs. A powerful exploration of identity, faith, and sacrifice, Saints is a deeply human look at a turbulent moment in Chinese history.
