The Story

America's Chinese American history comes vividly to life in a novel about a real-life pioneer, Lue Gim Gong. After years in indentured servitude in the West and New England, Lue put his genius for plants to work in Florida, creating the orange hybrids that earned him national renown as a 'plant wizard'. Through the authentic and distinct voices of its narrators, the novel provides a unique cross-cultural look at the lives of women of the late 19th century.
