This book was intense the whole way through. I don’t want to give the ending away but it is not happy. The character tries over and over again to succeed. 
I loved this book and yet was so torn to not want to read the ending. It was hard to see someone just be beaten down. It’s a beautiful read and the author really studied what happened to Chinese Immigrants and Slaves back in the 1800’s. What a sad world they lived in and as white people continue to make people of color suffer in.
