Pearl Buck was an incredible author and Nobel Laureate who wrote books that explored the human condition. Born in West Virginia, she grew up in China at a time of great cultural change and re-discovery. Her books were intensely personal, drawing on her own struggles of adapting to China while recognizing the deep culture of her Chinese ancestral homeland. Buck's books have been praised for their beautiful, sensitive portrayal of people from different backgrounds and living through different experiences. She was also an advocate for social issues such as multicultural understanding, civil rights and women's rights - all themes she incorporated into her books which has stood the test if time.
