Finding Samuel Lowe
In her new book "Finding Samuel Lowe," Paula Williams Madison takes us on a vivid journey through her life and those of her ancestors — Jamaicans and Hakka Chinese like her grandfather, Samuel Lowe. Her Chinese family was almost lost to history until the tenacious former reporter put her mind to reclaiming her ties to family, no matter how far-flung.
