Refugees: A Chinese-Hawaiian Memoir

Born in Shanghai, China in 1933, as a little girl Elizabeth Allbright witnessed the brutal attack of the Japanese army on that city. After a harrowing escape aided by the direct orders of the U.S. Secretary of State, her family moved to paradise - Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, where young Elizabeth once again encountered the fury of Japan. Here is the memoir of an eyewitness to history in the making. Filled with tales of exotic China, escape aboard a Navy destroyer, and watching bombs fall over Pearl Harbor, Elizabeth's story also paints the moving portrayal of one family's love through good times and bad.
