<p>In the spring of 1975, as war spread across South Vietnam and her country stood on the brink of collapse, Anh Vu, a young medical student, faced the most terrifying ordeal of her life. Her only hope was to pray for the seemingly impossible: escape. Here, in vivid and often wrenching detail, Anh tells the dramatic story of how her faith helped her persevere. From the vision that emboldened her to defy a curfew to the chance discovery that kept optimism alive, she recounts how she led her family on a harrowing -- and miraculous -- exodus to freedom. Through her eyes we learn what it's like to be a Vietnamese immigrant in the U.S.: the struggles and triumphs, the rude awakenings, and the unimagined blessings... An extraordinary testament, Song of Saigon shows us that even in the midst of unspeakable tragedy it is possible to find peace and joy within. Book jacket.</p>

<p>In riveting detail, Anh Vu Sawyer recounts a childhood hanging in the balance as the chaos of the Vietrnam 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, this 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.</p>
