Summary:
"As one of the boat people refugees,
Thien
escaped war-torn Vietnam on a harrowing journey that landed him in a Malaysian refugee camp.
Thien
Tang
had an ordinary childhood living in South Vietnam until it became a Communist state. His father feared persecution of his family and sent his fourteen-year-old son into hiding for over a year. Upon his return,
Thien
attended a local high school and found a classmate sweetheart. Life once again was good. But it wasn't meant to last.
Thien
was forced to go back into hiding again with no hope of return. Like thousands of others, he fled Vietnam on a crowded boat in search of a new life. But first he had to cross the treacherous South China Sea to reach Malaysia.
Thien
's ship was attacked by pirates and shot at by police. On land, he and his fellow refuges were jailed, starved, and beaten, but survival only brought on tougher challenges. The soldiers forced them at gunpoint back into their damaged boat to be towed to sea. He sought asylum in the United States but found the refuge he was seeking in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, where he lives today."--Back cover.
