Travelmaven asked Lisa See:

I'm realizing that my book reviews rarely have 5 stars - yet my reviews for your stories do. Thank you! Such visual stories, such educational and emotional stories. Characters I want to meet and know and share with other women in my life. Thank you! I look forward to reading about your great-grandmother. Did her story inspire you to do any genealogy?

Lisa See 5 stars! Woo-hoo! I love this! Thank you so much.

I've done a lot of genealogy over the years and not just for the new book. My first book, On Gold Mountain, tells the history of the Chinese in America through the eyes of my family. I did a lot of genealogy for that one.
