Standing Up After Saigon

"Contracting polio at age two and falling victim to the oppressive regime that overtook Saigon after its fall in the Vietnam War, Thuhang Tran has lead anything but an easy, ordinary life. Her father Chinh was lost to her and her family in the evacuations from Saigon, and for fifteen long years they remained separated, but desperate to reunite. Thuhang's memoir delves into the Vietnamese perspective of the Vietnam War, explores a family struggling for reunion, and shows a young woman growing up without the ability to walk, determined to still live life to the fullest and find a way to hope."--Provided by publisher.
