Book Description from Back Cover

How my parents came from China to Macon, Georgia in 1928, operated a laundry for over 20 years, and raised their family, the only Chinese in town, during an era of staunch segregation before moving to San Francisco to live among Chinese people so their children could learn their customs, traditions, and culture.
