(3) 4-6 With Kathleen S. Yep. In 1922, a young boy leaves China for California, accompanied by his American-born Chinese father whom he scarcely knows. Upon arrival, the boy faces rigorous questioning by Angel Island officials. Yep used intriguing immigration transcripts to write this absorbing (if occasionally unpolished) fictionalized tale about his family. An extensive afterword supplies more information about Chinese immigration and Yep family history, including photographs. Websites. Bib.
