Tuhia he tohutoro mō tēnei wāhanga - I whānau a Vuong ki Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, i runga i tētahi pāmu rīwai. He wahine taitamariki tana kuia i tipu ake i te tuawhenua, ko tana tupuna he hoia Amerikana ma i roto i te Navy no Michigan. I tutaki ona tupuna tupuna i te Pakanga o Vietnam, i marena, e toru nga tamariki, ko te whaea o Vuong tetahi o ratou. I hoki mai tana tupuna ki te toro ki te kāinga i te U.S. engari kaore i taea te hoki mai i te wa i hinga ai a Saigon ki nga ope Communist
He aha? I wehewehea e tōna kuia tōna whaea me ōna tīpuna ki ngā whare tamariki, e āwangawanga ana mō to rātau oranga i mua i te whakakotahitanga hei pakeke. I rere atu rātau i Vietnam i muri i te whakapae a tētahi pirihimana ko tōna māmā he uri whakaranu, ā, kei te mahi kore ture i raro i te ture Vietnamese.
