Summary

The characters in these stories are men and women, rich and poor, greedy and good, young and old -- all Chinese immigrants struggling to make new lives for themselves in North America. Yet wherever they go, they are followed by reminders of their home country -- the curse of a friend betrayed, the ghost of a faithful spouse, the spirit of a dead parent.

Author Biography

Paul Yee was born in Spalding, Saskatchewan, and grew up in Vancouver's Chinatown. As a former archivist with the city of Vancouver and the Archives of Ontario, he brings to his books extensive knowledge of written and photographic historical records. He has published many books on the experiences of the Chinese in North America, including Breakaway, a YALSA Best Book for Young Adults, two adult non-fiction titles and several picture books. Ghost Train was the winner of the Governor General's Literary Award, the Prix Enfantasie and the Ruth Schwartz Award; Tales from Gold Mountain, his first prize-winning collection of folktales, was named a Parent's Choice Honor Book, Bulletin Blue Ribbon Book and received starred reviews in Booklist and the Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books. Paul now lives in Toronto, where he writes full time Harvey Chan immigrated to Canada from Hong Kong as a teenager.
