Snow Flower or Shanghai Girls are both terrific. Shanghai Girls has a fantastic sequel, Dreams of Joy. And my very favorite of Lisa’s is the story of her family, On Gold Mountain. It’s her only nonfiction, but it reads like a novel! Amazing story and so well-written!

On Gold Mountain is an excellent nonfiction book about her family’s immigration to America.

If you like a little non-fiction the memoir or biography of her family is terrific–On Golden Mountain. I loved it.
