This is a vivid graphic history of the Chinese experience in
North America over the last 150 years, beginning with the
immigration of Chinese to "Gold Mountain" (the Chinese
colloquialism for North America) in the 1800s that resulted in
decades of discrimination, subjugation, and separation from loved
ones. Based on historical documents and interviews with elders,
the book is also the epic story of the Wong family as they
traverse these challenges with hope and determination, creating
an immigrant's legacy in their new home of North America.
