Book excerpt: A beautiful, and at times brutal, portrait of a people caught between cultures. Set in San Francisco from the 1980s to the present day, this debut collection explores the lives of families of Vietnamese immigrants as they struggle to adjust to life in their new country, often haunted by memories and customs of their old lives in Vietnam. While some are able to survive and assimilate, others are crushed by the promise of the American dream.
