The Streaming Life

The Streaming Life is a noteworthy memoir of the restless shape-shifting of a Vietnamese immigrant who survived the Vietnam War and then later came to America under the Orderly Departure Program (ODP) as a spouse of an American citizen who was also a Vietnamese refugee seeking freedom. Mrs. Vu first settled in New York and subsequently moved to Virginia, facing many struggles to reach a successful life in America. Throughout her twenty-two years living in the US, she became a US Citizen, graduated from college, and got a job. Then, in return, she paid back everything that America supported her with when she came here for the first time with empty hands and broken English. Mrs. Vu has lived a life to the fullest. Her life has had its ups and downs, like all of yours, but she leaned from it, overcame it, and found her way to a successful life. The Streaming Life is a true story - a memoir penetrated by love, faith, and passionate music. It was an amazing journey. Initially, I just wrote it as an agenda. But, I began thinking about publishing it ever since my daughter, who read my initial draft, said: "Wow. Mom, I really like it [The Streaming Life], even if it does not get published. I want you to publish it so that I can keep it for myself and my family to read about you, dad and your lives."
