Documenting the history of her own Chinese-American family, a journalist shares the results of five years of research, including interviews with nearly one hundred Chinese and Caucasian relatives, in a story of acceptance and discrimination.

Industry Reviews
"In her first book, Lisa See...tackles a family--her own--whose intricate genealogy, bravura entrepreneurship, bitter adulteries and perdurable rivalries might have intimidated a lesser chronicler into euphemism. It's terrific stuff."
New York Times Book Review - Elizabeth Tallent (08/27/1995)

"...she reveals, in all its bizarre but true detail, the immigrant experience of coming to a land of wealth from a land of poverty, of re-creating one's identity and of establishing a family at the intersection of two cultures....the book is an impressive historical achievement."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Monua Janah (08/13/1995)

"A comprehensive and exhaustively researched account of a Chinese-American family....a noteworthy presentation of an extraordinary cast of characters."
Los Angeles Times Book Review - Zilpha Keatley Snyder (07/23/1995)

"The authenticity of 'On Gold Mountain' lies in its evocative portrait of a time gone by."
Washington Post Book World - Denise Chong (08/20/1995)
