In riveting detail, Anh Vu Sawyer recounts a childhood hanging in the balance as the chaos of the Vietnam War threatens to tear her family apart. From the nightly rocket attacks that left her family trembling in fear to her father's lost glory as one of Ho Chi Minh's cadre to her harrowing exodus to freedom from the rooftop of the American Embassy, Sawyer's Song Of Saigon is an inspiring memoir of unshakeable faith and survival that comes full circle when she returns to Vietnam nearly 25 years later on a very personal humanitarian mission.
