While her father works long, hard hours for low wages on a sugar cane plantation, Su-Na and her two younger sisters, Jae-Mi and Hi-Jong, get their first glimpse of an unfamiliar culture, taste strange new foods...and see firsthand the racism that prevails among the different Asian populations. Discouraged by their experiences in Hawaii, but still hopeful that life on the mainland will be everything they've imagined, the family moves to California...where the sisters realize that America will not truly be a free country until all its people are considered equal.Lawlor, Laurie is the author of 'Pacific Odyssey to California 1905 - Laurie Lawlor - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780671039257 and ISBN 0671039253.
