The Eighth Promise: An American Son's Tribute to… by William Poy Lee
This memoir traced the history of a Chinese-American man growing up in Chinatown in San Francisco. The memoir purported to be a tribute to his mother. However, the best parts of the book were when the author related his experiences during the '60s and '70s when there was social upheaval in Chinatown. The parts about his mother were less interesting and less convincing.
