Fiction

In Thong Tran's Vietnam, everyone is at war and no one is who they seem. But even a conflicted heart needs a home. Yearning for a true father and a cause to give himself to, Thong chooses independence, liberty and happiness — his tutor and the Viet Cong. It is a choice with karmic consequences he will spend the next half-century criss-crossing the Pacific to outrun.

Can Thong set down the bones rankling in his heart? And at what cost?
