challenging dark emotional inspiring sad medium-paced

as a child of an immigrant, I connect with so much of the author’s feelings and thoughts when it comes to her parents, to her lineage.

what makes her the person she is? is it her decisions, her parents lives and their experiences? a combination of both or much more?

between the history of Vietnam, the author and her parents, there is so much pain there with pockets of joy. reminders that our parents, as much as we tend to forget, are people, too. 

this is an excellent graphic memoir and should be required reading in history classes.
