Those shining gold pieces were the only reality. And I didn"t have them. So I meant nothing. Times had changed....A former Vietnamese congresswoman stripped of her children, her husband, and her dignity must face overwhelming odds to outsmart communist Vietnam in order to secure freedom to herself and her family. Will Mrs. Xuan-Lan Nguyen succeed in reuniting her family and escaping war-torn Vietnam? Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге The Sea and the Mulberry Field (Xuan-Lan Nguyen)
