Sheila Michaels circa 1945 sits at a booth table in a Chinese restaurant with her parents and another man. There is a partial view of a Chinese tapestry on the wall behind them that depicts an elderly Chinese man wearing an ornate kimono. There are china dishes with an Asian pattern and a teapot and condiments on their tables. The man closest to the wall is wearing a suit and smoking a cigarette. Sheila's mother sits across from him and is wearing a dress and a printed headscarf. She is smiling. Sheila sits next to her and is wearing a plaid jumper with a white blouse with baby doll sleeves and a Peter Pan collar. She looks timidly at the camera. Her father sitting across from her is wearing a suit and smiling at the camera.
