Her mother is reluctant to let her go, but the promise of a better life for her beloved daughter ultimately sways her. Arriving in America with the profits from her sale and a single photograph of Guifeng, her absent father, Sixiang journeys across an unfamiliar American landscape in the hopes of reuniting her family. As she makes her way through an unforgiving new world, her father, a railroad worker in California, finds his attempts to build a life for himself both upended and defined by along-lost love and the seemingly inescapable violence of the American West. A generational saga ranging from the villages of China to the establishment of the transcontinental railroad and the anti-Chinese movement in California, Straw Dogs of the Universe considers the tenacity of family ties and the courage it takes to survive in a country that rejects you, even as it relies upon your labor."--Dust jacket flap.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Fiction Ye Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Ye Checked In   Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Fiction Ye Transit   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult New Books Ye Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Ye Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult New Books Ye Checked out 06/06/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Fiction Ye Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Fiction Ye Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult New Books Ye Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Fiction Ye Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
