Lisa See in [[Madrid]] (2012), by Asís G. Ayerbe Lisa See (born 18th February 1955) is an American writer and novelist. Her books include ''On Gold Mountain: The One-Hundred-Year Odyssey of My Chinese-American Family'' (1995), a detailed account of See's family history, and the novels ''Flower Net'' (1997), ''The Interior'' (1999), ''Dragon Bones'' (2003), ''Snow Flower and the Secret Fan'' (2005), ''Peony in Love'' (2007) and ''Shanghai Girls'' (2009), which made it to the 2010 New York Times bestseller list. Both ''Shanghai Girls'' and ''Snow Flower and the Secret Fan'' received honorable mentions from the Asian/Pacific American Awards for Literature.

See's novel, ''The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane (2017)'', is a story about circumstances, culture, and distance among the Akha people of Xishuangbanna, China. Her 2019 novel ''The Island of Sea Women'' is a story about female friendship and family secrets on Jeju Island before, during and in the aftermath of the Korean War.

''Flower Net'', ''The Interior'', and ''Dragon Bones'' make up the Red Princess mystery series. ''Snow Flower and the Secret Fan'' and ''Peony in Love'' focus on the lives of Chinese women in the 19th and 17th centuries respectively. ''Shanghai Girls'' (2009) chronicles the lives of two sisters who come to Los Angeles in arranged marriages and face, among other things, the pressures put on Chinese-Americans during the anti-Communist mania of the 1950s. See completed a sequel titled ''Dreams of Joy'', released in May 2011. ''China Dolls'' (June 2014) deals with Chinese American nightclub performers of the 1930s and 1940s.

Writing under the pen name Monica Highland, See, her mother Carolyn See, and John Espey, published two novels: ''Lotus Land'' (1983), ''110 Shanghai Road'' (1986), and ''Greetings from Southern California'' (1988), a collection of early 20th Century postcards and commentary on the history they represent. She has a personal essay ("The Funeral Banquet") included in the anthology ''Half and Half''.

See has donated her personal papers (1973–2001) to UCLA. During the 2012 Golden Dragon Chinese New Year Parade in Los Angeles Chinatown, See served as the Grand Marshal. Provided by Wikipedia
