Ten-year-old Samantha Plum's continuing adventures find her returning to Hawaii and the Philippines under a cloud of sadness and impending doom. In this second installment, Sam deals with emotions that are too heavy a burden for a young girl, and the loss of her mind-talking support: her parents are in jeopardy; the spirit of her ancestor 'Lolo Ciano' is imprisoned in a dream cloud; Ollie's gift had been taken away by the fireflies, and Patti doesn't realize that she is being held against her will. It is all too much for Sam to handle by herself. But help comes when Sam needs it most. Solo and his ancestor shark and Yi Fan the herbalist from Hawaii; Tita Mari and cousin Victoria, her traveling companions; Niko, the dwarf once the enemy now her friend, and others come to her aid. Sam and Patti are also introduced to the spirit of the Philippines' national hero. They must face an evil Chinese witch who forces unsuspecting women to do her bidding in Manila and Honolulu.

Oakland's Chinatown has a history every bit as compelling as its more famous neighbor across San Francisco Bay. Chinese have been a presence in Oakland since the 1850s, bringing with them a rich and complex tradition that survived legalized discrimination that lingered until the 1950s. Once confined to a small area of downtown where restaurants stir-fried, laundries steamed, and vegetable stands crowded the sidewalks, Chinese gradually moved out into every area of Oakland, and the stands evolved into corner groceries that cemented entire neighborhoods. Chinese helped Oakland grow into a modern business and cultural center and have gained prominence in every aspect of the city's commerce, politics, and arts.

Chinese American baby boomers who grew up within the twenty-nine square blocks of San Francisco's Chinatown lived in two worlds. Elders implored the younger generation to retain ties with old China even as the youth felt the pull of a future sheathed in red, white and blue. The family-owned shops, favorite siu-yeh (snack) joints and the gai-chongs where mothers labored as low-wage seamstresses contrasted with the allure of Disney, new cars and football. It was a childhood immersed in two vibrant cultures and languages, shaped by both. Author Edmund S. Wong brings to life Chinatown's heart and soul from its golden age.

Chinese pioneers in the Sacramento River Delta were the vital factor in reclaiming land and made significant contributions to California's agricultural industry from farming to canning. Since the 1860s, Chinese were already settled in the delta and created Chinatowns in and between the two towns of Freeport in the north and Rio Vista in the south. One of the towns, Locke, was unique in that it was built by the Chinese and was inhabited almost exclusively by the Chinese during the first half of the 1900s. The town of Locke represents the last remaining legacy of the Chinese pioneers who settled in the delta.
