From Ink and Sandalwood
Book DescriptionIn this collection--a walk through the life of a woman caught between American and Chinese cultures--Cecile M. Franking explores her roots and family, always a little displaced in America (where peers called her "chink" or tried to dig a hole to China). She learns America's prejudices, but through finding a good home, family, and husband, she learns to bring together the yin and yang of life.
