A search for family across distance and memory
Set against the final days of the Việt Nam War and its aftermath, the novel follows Hằng’s separation from her younger brother and her later effort to find him after reaching Texas as a refugee. LeeRoy, a local with rodeo ambitions, joins her search. Their reunion brings a new challenge: Linh no longer remembers Hằng, their family, or Việt Nam. The story connects displacement and the strain of family separation with questions of memory, belonging, and how siblings might rebuild a bond after years apart.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Teens and young adults interested in stories about siblings and family separation.
- Readers seeking young adult fiction centered on Vietnamese refugee experience and displacement.
- Those interested in stories that connect memory and belonging with family relationships.
