Praise for The City of Jade Trees: “The City of Jade Trees is an epic story of displacement and the search for home. Crossing a century and multiple generations of seekers in her family, Margaret Woo asks when do the immigrants who built America get to be called American? This is a love letter to the many, nameless people whose hopes and hard work built this country. ”—Alysia Abbott, author of Fairyland: A Memoir of My Father “This deeply moving family saga, a story of literal and metaphorical crossings placed within the frame of racial and geopolitical conflict, examines what it means to be Chinese American. In doing so, it tells a quintessential American story.”—Robert S. Chang, executive director of the UC Irvine School of Law and the Fred T. Korematsu Center for Law and Equality “Stories of immigration, including the Chinese American experience, are so necessary at this time. Woo’s voice is a welcome addition.”—Curtis Chin, author of Everything I Learned, I Learned in a Chinese Restaurant: A Memoir
