As the 2002 Clarion Award Winner, "The Lonely Queue" is an unprecedented history book which presents the vibrant and diverse contribution of the 150 years of Chinese Americans in the Greater Los Angeles area. It features bilingual text (English and Chinese) with hundreds of vintage photographs, and personal memories depicting the struggle of Chinese Americans making America their home. It uncovers many hidden and nearly forgotten historical accounts that have been absent from history books and the general public knowledge. The book is a recommended reading title for the California and American history curricula.
