Striving to become accepted, this account is filled with the historical impacts of a family looking to find a home while they deal with the battles of religion and the introduction of the White Australia Policy. Chinese Roots is an honest and at times confronting telling of the challenges that each generation was faced with, laced with real world impacts of Australian and global history from the 1900s to the modern day.
