- Biography, Description and travel, Refugees, Vietnam War, 1961-1975
A Vietnamese girl caught between the North the South and the Americans. Later in life she returns to Vietnam to find her family and continuing distrust and fear. The book goes back and forth between the war years and her return as an American. A great book. One of my favorites.
