The lucky ones
About this book
Traces three generations of a Chinese-American family from its patriarch's self-invention as an immigration broker in post-gold rush San Francisco, through the landmark 1885 case involving one daughter's efforts to integrate California schools, to the family's intimate involvement in the 1904 World's Fair.
