I was 13 years old when the Americans left Vietnam and the last helicopters flew off. My family of six came down from the Embassy rooftop to an upside-down world and an unraveling life. This book chronicles the seven years during which time we struggled to regain freedom, facing the death of loved ones and incarceration, losing bit-by-bit all vestiges of a normal life, until life was but a battle to stay afloat. And nothing was left but prayer and love to keep us moving on.
