Our meetings are held once a month, and at each session, one member will lead the discussion of a book they recommended and which was agreed upon by the group. This meetings book is:"On Gold Mountain: The One-Hundred-Year Odyssey of My Chinese-American Family" by Lisa See

About the Book: Out of the stories heard in her childhood in Los Angeles's Chinatown and years of research, See has constructed this sweeping chronicle of her Chinese-American family, a work that takes in stories of racism and romance, entrepreneurial genius and domestic heartache, secret marriages and sibling rivalries, in a powerful history of two cultures meeting in a new world.

**Due to unforseen circumstances, tonight's book club meeting has been cancelled and will be postponed for a later date.**
