Your review really helps paint a picture of what to expect from this book. The different perspective, the life lessons and the emotions behind it all. Looking forward to reading this book.

Wow, this sounds intense. As much as your review intrigued me, I don't think this book is really for me, but thanks for the insight on it!

I agree, this beautiful book wouldn't have been written if she weren't courageous enough to share her story. Thank you for commenting!

This sounds like a very fascinating and suspenseful story! I would love to read about Muoi’s escape and Vietnamese history.

Thank you for a fabulous review!
