The book begins in the late 19th century, when the author's great-grandfather, Lee Kum Sheong, left his home in China to seek a better life in America.

In the years that followed, he brought his wife and children to America, and the family settled in San Francisco's Chinatown.
The author's family faced many challenges in the early years in America. They were discriminated against because of their race and ethnicity, and they struggled to make a living. However, they persevered, and eventually achieved success in their new country.
The book follows the author's family through the years, as they faced both good times and bad.
