Unlike most childhoods, mine was far from being a happy one. My siblings and I, as well as the generation before us, were born at a time when warplanes, gunfire, foreign men in uniform, constant evacuations, and locals hiding under bunkers or war tunnels were commonplace.

They are so young, yet already they are having the time of their lives. As a child, I never imagined such scenarios to be remotely possible.

Autorenporträt
John Vo came to America in 1987 as a refugee from war-ravaged Vietnam. Despite the torment of being ostracized in his own country because he was a child of the enemy, Vo or Anh Tung (the authors Vietnamese name) was filled with unwavering hope and determination to live a purposeful life in the land of freedom. His lifes greatest triumph was bringing together his family after decades of being apart.
