<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"This book has unusual insight into the human heart. Every scene is wonderfully immediate, <em>real</em>. The reader is instantly drawn into this world, sensing a familiar territory where discoveries may yet be made." --Josephine Humphreys<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This powerful narrative, winner of the 1993 Associated Writing Programs award for the novel, focuses on Galveston, Texas, and a community of newly arrived Vietnamese. Struggling to maintain a balance between Vietnam and America, they live with one foot in each world. Close-knit families, now fragmented, dream of the "kingdom of elders left behind"; young girls shoulder responsibility far beyond their years; and homesick professionals, puzzled by American customs, strive to belong while clinging to the rituals that sustain them.
