Description
Van's world is turned upside down when her mother, sisters, and brother disappear. Left behind in Ho Chi Minh City, she must navigate a treacherous new reality. Her grandmother, too old to make the perilous journey to freedom, remains with Van.
As they wait for their parents to sponsor their move to North America, Van faces harsh treatment from her aunt and uncle, who view her as an unwanted servant. At school, she struggles to assert herself in a society where standing out is a risk. But when the bully who torments her reveals his true identity, Van's situation becomes even more complicated.
Van Ho's story is a powerful account of life under repressive regimes and the resilience of those forced to endure them. This heart-wrenching tale will resonate with families affected by war and conflict.
