Butterfly Yellow by Thanhhà Lại

4.0

This book is specific and universal, quiet and loud, poignant yet subtle. It, like all of us, and the world we live in, contains multitudes.

In the aftermath of the Việt Nam War, 18-year-old Hằng comes to America and searches for her brother that she has missed for over 6 years. The journey to family is not an easy one, but with a city cowboy named LeeRoy, a cantaloupe crop, and a horse farm allow Hằng to find peace and a new life.
