A chronicle of the divergent journeys of a father, who fled post-war Vietnam on a small boat to find refuge in the United States, and his American-born daughter, who ventures to Vietnam as an adult, capturing the stark contrast between their perspectives on their shared homeland, as they search for common ground and a path toward mutual healing.
"Combines the fraught tension of Ava Chin's Mott Street and the tenderness of Elliot Tiber's Taking Woodstock."—Kirkus Reviews

      Quyen Ngo immerses listeners in this dual memoir whose chapters alternate between a father and daughter. Nghia M. Vo delves into the period when he fled Vietnam by boat to take refuge in the U.S. after the fall of Saigon in 1975. Decades later, his adult daughter, Christina, who was raised in the U.S. and longs to learn about their family's homeland, travels to Vietnam. Ngo seamlessly transports listeners between the differing time periods and locations and fluidly pronounces Vietnamese names and places. With her warm delivery, she moves listeners and captures the story's poignant themes of loss, yearning for belonging, and searching for identity. A thought-provoking listening experience on the Vietnamese diaspora and the intergenerational immigrant experience. V.T.M. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
