Synopsis

This is the true story of my family’s daring escape from communist Laos in search of a better life in America. In this book you will see that nothing is impossible if you dream big, work hard, and never walk backward. My dad was a low ranking Laotian soldier who fought alongside the US during the Vietnam War. His fellow soldiers told him about life and freedom in America. From their words he set his mind on bringing his family here, and no matter how difficult the journey became, he never gave up. I hope this book will encourage you to be strong and to hold fast to your dreams. Never forget, you're here in America! This is the land of opportunity; filled with love and generosity.
