About this work & edition details

In the final days of the Việt Nam War, Hằng tries to take her younger brother Linh to safety, but he is taken from her at the airport. Six years later, she arrives in Texas as a refugee determined to find him. A chance meeting with LeeRoy, a young man pursuing his own rodeo dream, gives her an unexpected companion for the search. Reuniting with Linh does not restore the family Hằng remembers: he no longer recognizes her or their shared past. She must find a new way to rebuild their bond.
