It was the beginning of an amazing journey that took him to San Francisco just a few years before the Chinese Exclusion Act. He ultimately went to Hawaii to work on the sugar plantations, and it was there that he and his wife raised twelve children.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe second generation continued the family's tradition of working hard, putting family first, and traveling. Barbara, a member of the third generation, was a schoolgirl when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. The cowardly bombing changed everything. Barbara suddenly had to participate in air raid drills, learn how to use a gas mask, and endure food rationing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this tribute to three generations, Barbara looks back at growing up during the war, surviving three recessions, and finding the love of her life-her late husband of thirty-nine years, Frank. Even though times were not always easy, she and her family always treasured their freedom and heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Yuen O'Connor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1462409369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781462409365\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Inspiring Voices\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 76\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.16d","brand":"Barbara Yuen O'Connor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49000366932223,"sku":"9781462409365","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/journeys-of-three-generations-barbara-yuen-oconnor-9781462409365","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
