Diggin' My Roots: Fantastic!

The Dragon's Child

The Dragon's Child: A Story of Angel Island by Laurence Yep
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a must read for all those who want to understand the hardship of Chinese immigrants and American-born Chinese citizens as they were processed at Angel Island. My great-grandfather, grandparents and father were all processed there and what an ordeal. Well written, and again, love the way true facts are woven into a memorable story to help understand the motivations and feelings of the times and people. Helpful references in the back of the book lead you to find further information on Chinese immigrants. Also a great lead into finding your Chinese ancestors who came through Angel Island. Excellent book!!! Great author!
