Her father decided to bring his family from a small village in southern China to California. Getting to America was not easy. Getting past America’s strict anti-Chinese immigration laws was even more difficult. Any misstep could mean deportation and disgrace for their family.\nLife in America during the Great Depression brought many exciting surprises as well as a few disappointments. Hunger, poverty, police raids, frequent moves, and the occasional sting of racism were a part of everyday life, but slowly Li Keng and her family found stability and a true home in “Gold Mountain.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Peachtree Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44773828198453,"sku":"ByrdShop_1561453676","price":32.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_1561453676_d362f61b-a76a-40bc-8de3-9ae61b60a2c0.jpg?v=1784356803","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/good-fortune-my-journey-to-gold-mountain-9781561453672","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
