Eternal River - Volume II - The Claremont Years

Things were vastly different in 1951 when Tom and Kay Wing moved their family to Claremont, California. At age 4, their daughter Carolyn was about to spend the next 13 years experiencing life from the inside of their custom house, being reared in the combination of old Chinese and new American ideas that her parents chose from navigating their own difficult pasts. With brilliant, dynamic, powerful parents, and an older sister who excelled at everything; through the rigors of childhood, the brutality of junior high and the awkwardness of high school, Carolyn must fight for a place of her own. With great insight and humor, Carolyn Wing Greenlee tells of these years in a way that is poignant, captivating and deeply touching. Eternal River - Volume I - The Early Years is also available. Eternal River - Volume III is due to be released early 2010. Also part of the Eternal River series are Inside The Oy Quong Laundry, Kathleen Kong's early life within her family's Chinese laundry in Merced, CA, and Son of South Mountain & Dust, Tom Wing's childhood as the son of a Chinese doctor and herbalist in Modesto, CA.
