Reviews

"An inherently fascinating, informative, and fully engaging read from cover to cover, The Wongs of Beloit, Wisconsin underscores the value immigrants have steadfastly proven to be as they became (and continue to become) an integral part of the American populace. Exceptionally well researched, written, organized and presented, The Wongs of Beloit, Wisconsin is an important and unreservedly recommended addition."--Midwest Book Review
