As she and her boys begin to settle into life in America, she continues to send letters and tapes back to Cong, hopeful that they will be reunited and her children will grow up with a father. Over time, Huong realizes she will never see Cong again. While she copes with this loss, her sons, Tuan and Binh, grow up in their absent father's shadow, haunted by a man and a country trapped in their memory and imagination. As they push forward, the three adapt to life in America in different ways: Huong takes up with a Vietnamese car salesman who is also new in town; Tuan tries to connect with his heritage by joining a local Vietnamese gang; and Binh, now going by Ben, embraces his burgeoning sexuality. Their search for identity--as individuals and as a family--tears them apart, until disaster strikes and they must find a new way to come together and honor the ties that bind them"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hana P/S Library Adult Fiction Nguyen   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Fiction Nguyen   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Nguyen   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Fiction Nguyen   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Nguyen   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction Nguyen   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Laupahoehoe P/S Library Adult Fiction Nguyen Realistic Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Fiction Nguyen   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Fiction Nguyen   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Molokai Public Library Adult Fiction Nguyen   Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
