Waiting by the trees and Doulbe face

In the first story “Waiting By The Trees”, I think it has to do with a little deception that is well known around the world. It was a strang kind of deception. One to get a person into marrying someone else. Apparently after accidently cutting a flower it seems this young girl, Ying-Ying was forced into a marriage she didn’t want. It’s really strange, because Ying-Ying doesn’t even know this guy and all of a sudden she is sleeping with him. And then right after she has a kid, her husband up and cheats on her and eventually disappears. The rest of the story details her transformation from a small girl into a strong western woman. In “Double Face” it seems that Waverly is very scared to go to China for her honeymoon, because she is afraid that they won’t accept her. This story details, Waverly’s marriage from her mom’s point of view. Then (I can see how why this story is called “Double Face”) Mr. Rory says that the look very much a like, and it seems to be very true. Waverly’s mom then talks about how she met An-Mei Hsu in China.
