In 1867, Lisa See's great-great-grandfather arrived in America,
where he prescribed herbal remedies to immigrant laborers who were
treated little better than slaves. His son Fong See later built a
mercantile empire and married a Caucasian woman, in spite of laws
prohibiting interracial marriage. Lisa herself grew up playing in
her family's antiques store in Los Angeles's Chinatown, listening
to stories of missionaries and prostitutes, movie stars and Chinese
baseball teams.
With these stories and her own years of research, Lisa See
chronicles the one-hundred-year-odyssey of her Chinese-American
family, a history that encompasses racism, romance, secret
marriages, entrepreneurial genius, and much more, as two distinctly
different cultures meet in a new world.
