Excerpt

In the dark of June, 1993, the Golden Venture, a 150-foot rusting freighter, began dropping its passengers into the cold surf off Rockaway Peninsula in Queens. The trip, which had begun four months earlier in Thailand, was not supposed to end this way for the 296 Chinese who had paid up to $35,000 a piece for the promise of a safe entry into America.
