At the end of the Vietnam War, when Beth Nguyen was eight months old, she and her father, sister, grandmother, and uncles fled Saigon for America. Beth's mother stayed--or was left--behind, and they did not meet again until Beth was nineteen. Over the course of her adult life, she and her mother have spent less than twenty-four hours together. Owner of a Lonely Heart is a memoir about parenthood, absence, and the condition of being a refugee: the story of Beth's relationship with her mother. Framed by a handful of visits over the course of many years--sometimes brief, sometimes interrupted, sometimes with her mother alone and sometimes with her sister--Beth tells a coming-of-age story that spans her own Midwestern childhood, her first meeting with her mother, and becoming a parent herself. Vivid and illuminating, Owner of a Lonely Heart is a deeply personal story of family, connection, and belonging: as a daughter, a mother, and as a Vietnamese refugee in America"-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Adult New Books 977.40049 Nguyen Ng Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 977.40049 Nguyen Ng Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult New Books 977.40049 Nguyen Ng Checked out 05/17/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 977.40049 Nguyen Ng Checked out 04/30/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult New Books B Nguyen Ng Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 977.40049 Nguyen Ng Checked out 05/10/2024 Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Biography B Nguyen Ng Checked out 05/01/2024 Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Nguyen Ng Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 977.40049 Nguyen Ng Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Naalehu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 977.40049 Nguyen Ng Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
