Though the stories are from a specific time and place, they are deeply connected to the immigration issues that face newcomers today.
First published in 1980, this expanded second edition includes a new historical introduction, 150 annotated poems in Chinese and English translation, extensive profiles of immigrants gleaned through oral histories, and dozens of new photographs from public archives and family albums.
Judy will be on-hand after the reading to answer questions and sign books which are available in the museum Marketplace.
