The book was very favorably reviewed by a local newspaper. Another Vietnam story said I? As an avid Vietnam reader I couldn't let go of the opportunity despite nagging skepticism that it just could be another mundane refugee story. 62 cents + $2.98 shipping to Amazon brought the paperback to my doorstep. All the reviewers were right, it was an outstanding story of 3 generations of devout Vietnamese protestants living the ordeal of Vietnam in the 20th century, from the North all the way to America. If you are not Christian, don't let the evangelical style get you down. Icing on the cake: my spouse knew of Ngoc Anh when they both worked for People Express in the early 80's. All the private stories I was told then came back. Don't want to say more except that I was touched! A must read book, and kudos to Ngoc Anh, her maiden name, Vu~ Ngo.c Anh to be exact.
