This book has unusual insight into the human heart. Every scene is wonderfully immediate, real. The reader is instantly drawn into this world, sensing a familiar territory where discoveries may yet be made. -Josephine Humphreys This powerful narrative, winner of the 1993 Associated Writing Programs award for the novel, focuses on Galveston, Texas, and a community of newly arrived Vietnamese. Struggling to maintain a balance between Vietnam and America, they live with one foot in each world. Close-knit families, now fragmented, dream of the kingdom of elders left behind; young girls shoulder responsibility far beyond their years; and homesick professionals, puzzled by American customs, strive to belong while clinging to the rituals that sustain them.
