Escaping Vietnam: A Refugee's Tale (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781537285801)

Trina Chu has led a remarkable life, from growing up in Vietnam in the years following the war there, to her escape with her younger brother, leaving behind her younger brother and mother, in order to join the her father and two older brothers in the United States. The whole family reunited in the United States after six years of separation. She tells the story of her escape here, in the pages of this fascinating and compelling book about that period of her life. It is difficult to comprehend what people were ready to do and the risks they were prepared to take, just to escape from a system they wanted to be no part of, and with echoes of what we are now seeing on another continent, and in another century, Trina vividly describes the journey, the hardships and dangers and her eventual salvation. Escaping Vietnam is a 'must read' for anyone interested in this period of history, or anyone just interested in one young girl's escape from a country she once called home.
