O knihe

Follow the exciting journey of the Nyugen family as they try a daring escape from the treacherous North Vietnamese invaders after the Fall of Saigon at the end of the Vietnam War in 1975. They lose each other in this struggle and encounter suffering, heartache, and tragedy. Separate paths take them in various directions including across the dangerous South China Sea, into the horror of a jungle internment camp, and deep into the Mekong Delta. Their quest to reunite with each other keeps their dream alive of finding a Little Saigon somewhere in America where they will be together again.

Full of suspense and drama, this heartwarming novel of family, love, and perseverance shows how people must reassess their lives in the midst of crisis and choose another pathway.
