At the end of the Vietnam War, 10-year-old Ha and her family are forced to flee Saigon, the only home she’s ever known. Landing first in Florida, Ha’s mother decides to settle in Alabama, where she hopes her children will have the life they were robbed of in Saigon. Though she is now physically safe, the transition is hard, and Ha struggles with a new language, new customs, and a longing for the life she left behind. The story is told in free-verse, through Ha’s perspective, which allows the reader a deeper emotional connection, as they view the world through Ha’s eyes.
