The Eighth Promise - Kepler's Staff Review

When Lee’s mother emigrated from her Toisanese village to San Francisco’s Chinatown to be with her Chinese-American husband in the 1950s, she made eight promises to her mother, the last of which was to live her life in complete compassion for all people. Told in alternating chapters by Lee and his mother, this remarkable memoir gives us an in-depth look at the Toisanese culture and life in Chinatown during the last half century.
