If I could give this book 10 stars I would, a horrific story of what it was to grow up in Vietnam after communist rule took over. I knew life wasn't easy for those who were considered enemies of that government but I never imagined the depth of the horror. And knowing the author and his brother were really American makes this even more horrific. I thank God he was able to escape to America and make a life for himself here. He says he has no plans to write about his life after he came here, he says it's not important because he is living a "normal life" just like everybody else but I beg to differ. I came to know and care very much about him while reading his story and I would be very interested in reading how he overcame this kind of childhood to be as well-adjusted as he seems to be. I was and am humbled by his life story. This is one of the "top 10 best books" I have read this year.
