For the first time ever, Laurence Yep's sweeping saga of a Chinese family's journey to the Land of the Golden Mountain—America—is being published in one stunningly designed series of volumes as the Golden Mountain Chronicles.

Moon Shadow was only eight years old when he sailed from China to join his father, Windrider, in America. For years, Windrider had lived in San Francisco and made his living doing laundry. Father and son had never met.

But over time, Moon Shadow grows to love and respect his father. And Windrider, with Moon Shadow's help, endures the mockery of the other Chinese, the poverty, the separation from wife and country, and even the great earthquake, to make his wonderful dream come true.
