Quan describes her family's journey in the 1920s from Toronto to southern China to visit the grandmother she'd never met. Her account, with its vivid, well-chosen details, touches on her own emotions as well as those of her father, though some passages are wordy and a bit sentimental. Watercolor illustrations depict each step of Quan's experience.
