Synopsis

This novel is a fictional memoir of a family's struggles through post-war Vietnam and their journey in search of a better life on foreign soil. It is the story of wounded pride, as personified by Father, silent resentment, as depicted by the conventional Mother, and the fragility of innocence, as embodied by our young heroine. The novel takes us from the private struggles of familial bonds to the public crumbling of old traditions. This novel tells the universal tales of all immigrants in the United States through the eyes of a young girl. Little Sister Left Behind is a rare and honest portrait into the cultural changes and obstacles that many families undergo in order become part of the "American Dream".
