Book: Angie Chau's Quiet As They Come

It is a book about the Vietnamese boat people's new lives in San Francisco. They found themselves in between two different cultures. They are also haunted by their memories and customs and at the same time, raised their kids in their new motherland.

The story is honesty and generosity; yet it is hard to follow in some ways if you only have a little knowledge about the Asian culture. Some chapters are written from a child's view of the new country; some chapters depicted the difficulties life of the adults.

Try to read this book and make your own "judgment."
