On another note, have you read Dai Sijie's "Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress?" I really enjoyed it, and think you would also. It was first published in French, but there is an English version. Cheers, Don in Napa

Dear Lisa, Thank you for such thoroughly researched novels. My mother, from the Lee Family in L.A. Chinatown, was SOOO excited when "On Gold Mountain" first came out. She gifted annotated copies to her 3 adult children & 3 nieces & nephews. Did you know her courtyard neighbors were the Fong See family and her sister played with Sissy? Since then, I've read 8 more.

Dear Lisa, First, I am new to reading your books and so far I am really enjoying China Dolls. Also, I understand you will be the keynote speaker at the Novel Writing Conference this year. Will you also have a book signing? Since this year will be the first time I attend a writing conference, I am not 100% sure how everything works. Thanks.

Hi Lisa! I just wanted to say thank you for writing "The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane." It's one of my favorite books -- the ending was absolutely beautiful and made me cry. As a Chinese-American myself, Li-yan's story really touched me on a personal level and made me think about my relationship with my family. Oh, I also have a fondness for tea, so that part was fascinating! Lee L. from So Cal :-) (had to add ?)
