"An American-born Chinese braids his life and ancestral strands into a unique journal."--t.p.
"In 1984 Father Emery Tang, a Franciscan monk from California, embarked on a three-week tour of China, the land of his forefathers. The result of his journey is this book, and it explores what it means to visit your spiritual homeland for the first time. Unlike many other travel books on China, the country is not portrayed here as a three-week "tour"; rather, we see China as the birthplace of a cultural heritage that spans some 7,000 years."
