Beautifully written, a story that needed to be told. Will be gifting a copy to my niece. Worth reading through how the author decided to write this story. Historical fiction that probably happened to many Chinese women and Chinese citizens. Need to acknowledge it of part of US history too.

I decided not to finish this one. The beginning of the book was well written and intriguing, but the portions surrounding the brothel were too much for me to read at this time.
