Inside the Oy Quong Laundry
It was not easy being a young Chinese girl growing up in California during the 1920's and '30's. The author not only had to survive the prevailing hostility of the times, she also had to endure being a 'worthless female' working in her family's laundry and her mother's suspicion of anything not Chinese. Her search for worth and struggle for acceptance, the awkardness of growing into womanhood, and her gracious acceptance of those ugly aspects of life wheich can transform us into the people of dignity, character, and grace are captured here. -- From back cover
