Access Utah talks with historian Charlotte Brooks about her new book “The Moys of New York and Shanghai.”

Born to Chinese immigrant parents, the Moy siblings grew up in an America that questioned their citizenship and denied their equality. Charlotte Brooks’s gripping tale follows the family back and forth across the Pacific and through two world wars, China’s Nationalist and Communist revolutions, and the Cold War — events that the siblings and their spouses helped shape. The Moys’ story offers a kaleidoscopic view of an entire generation’s struggle for acceptance and belonging.
