What an amazing achievement! I’m stunned by the way Chin is able to tell her family stories in a way that reads like a page turning novel, spans over 100 years, and incorporates so much detailed and solid history. I wish that I could create something like this with my family history and documents, and I know how difficult a task this would be.

This book is also so important for understanding American history better. Chin brings to life the determination, patience, love, and humanity of people who so often are forgotten in the telling of American history. And the immigrant story could not be more relevant today. Highly recommend. I wonder who else I might encourage to read this.
