Synopsis "landed"

Sun is ready to leave his village in China for America, theplace known as Gum Saan, Gold Mountain. His father warnshim, though, that passage will not be easy. Because of the 1882Chinese Exclusion Act, new immigrants like Sun are detainedat Angel Island until they are called to take a difficult oralexam before they can land - leave Angel Island and goashore. On the boat, Sun had studied maps of his village andmemorized facts about his ancestors. But as the weeks pass indetainment, the map's compass points swirl in his memory, andSun worries that he will lose his direction and be turned away.The oil paintings are rich with historical details in this vividrecounting, based on the author's father-in-law's experiences, ofa disturbing chapter in Chinese American history.
