Exploring the anguish of immigration and the lasting effects that displacement has on a child and her family, Bui documents the story of her family's daring escape after the fall of South Vietnam in the 1970s and the difficulties they faced building new lives for themselves. At the heart of Bui's story is a universal struggle: While adjusting to life as a first-time mother, she ultimately discovers what it means to be a parent--the endless sacrifices, the unnoticed gestures, and the depths of unspoken love. Despite how impossible it seems to take on the simultaneous roles of both parent and child, Bui pushes through. 541 $d 20230823. 650 7 $a Fear $v Comic books, strips, etc. 651 $a Vietnam $x History $x History $v Comic books, strips, etc. 655 7 $a Nonfiction Comics. 655 $a Graphic Novels. 655 7 $a Autobiographical Comics $v young adult literature. 941 $a 2 952 $l VHPA334 $d 20240111060120.0 952 $l WKPE185 $d 20231010042648.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=45CA84E0673311EEBF3E118F48ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
