Nguyet-Anh Tran: Fleeing One's Country, Holding Tight to One's Culture
When fleeing war and destruction, people act decisively and powerfully. Though they break free from the land, their hearts are often left behind. Reliving the emotions of the times, Anh Tran tells of her family’s escape out of Vietnam during the 1975 Fall of Saigon. After the tears come resolution, hard work, and the resilience to make life work in a strange new land...along with the kindness of strangers.
