From the back cover:
Moon Shadow was eight years old when he sailed from China to join his father, Windrider, in America. For years, Windrider had lived in San Francisco and made his living doing laundry. Father and son had never met.
But over time, Moon Shadow grows to love and respect his father and to believe in his wonderful dream. And Windrider, with Moon Shadow's help, is willing to endure the mockery of the other Chinese, the poverty, the separation from his wife and country - even the great earthquake - to make his dream come true.

I enjoyed reading this book - solid characters and a good story. This book also introduced me to the Golden Mountain Chronicles series of books by Laurence Yep. I enjoy historical fiction so I would like to read more of these books.
This book will be passed on to retc tomorrow.
