9 year-old Anna Mae He is an outsider in China.
This small girl was at the center of one of the longest custody battles in the U.S. in recent times. On one side were the Bakers, a white family in Memphis. On the other were the Hes, Chinese immigrants scraping by.
Last year the Tennessee Supreme Court ordered her returned to her Chinese family, and the family moved to China in February. While the legal fight is finally over, a new story has started for Anna.
After her parents' marriage fell apart, she was sent to boarding school this fall and goes home on weekends. She can't talk to her schoolmates because she grew up in America and doesn't speak Chinese.
Her mother allows the Baker family to talk to Anna by telephone once a week now.
