About the Book



Told with a stark, poetic brilliance, Kien's account of his early years--from the fall of Saigon to his family's eventual escape--is a work of profound emotional resonance. A Reader's Pick Selection.



Book Synopsis



Saigon fell to the Viet Cong on April 30, 1975. Kien Nguyen watched the last U.S. Army helicopter leave without him, without his brother, without his mother, without his grandparents. Left to a nightmarish existence in a violated and decimated country, Kien was more at risk than most because of his odd blond hair and his light eyes - because he was Amerasian. He was the most unwanted. Told with stark and poetic brilliance, this is a story of survival and hope, a moving and personal record of a tumultuous and important piece of history.
