House Without Walls by Ching Yeung Russell
5.0

I wasn’t expected this to be so deep, thoughtful or heart wrenching. It is written in free verse and flows easily making it a quick & easy read but the topic is very full. Based on true stories, it follows a girl and her brother leave Vietnam in 1979 fleeing the oppressive regime trying to make it to safety and then to find their Baba (father) in America.

They become close to a family on their journey and try and stay together despite the turmoil and pain that they face. It was both beautiful and heartbreaking.
