Mott Street : a Chinese American family's story of exclusion and homecoming / Ava Chin.

Chin, Ava, (author.).

Summary:

"Mott Street follows Chinese American writer Ava Chin, who grew up estranged from her father, as she seeks the truth about her family history-and uncovers a legacy of exclusion and resilience that speaks to the American experience past and present. Chin's ancestors became lovers, classmates, sworn enemies, and, eventually, through her birth, kin-all while converging at a single Chinatown address"-- Provided by publisher.
