THE REFUGEES

Acknowledgements

[…]

Thanks to my father and mother, Joseph and Linda.  Refugees in 1954 and again 1975, they are the most courageous people I know.  They saved my life.

Thanks to my older brother, Tung, the original refugee success story. Seven years after arriving in the United States, he went to Harvard.  He sets a high standard.

Thanks to Lan Duong, my fellow refugee, writer, and partner.  A reader of my every word, she has shared both the suffering and the joy.

Thanks to our son, Ellison, for reminding me of childhood.  By the time this book is published, he will be nearly the age that I aws when I became a refugee.
