Annotation:
Born in a refugee camp on the borders of Cambodia and Thailand to parents fleeing war in Vietnam, Cat Thao Nguyen tells the story of how her family came to settle in Australia and her experiences growing up in Western Sydney in the 80s and 90s. In this candid memoir, described as "unflinching in its detail of the many tortured steps to freedom," (Sydney Morning Herald) Nguyen unpacks the sacrifices made by her family as they struggle to overcome the scars of their past traumas and make a new life for themselves in a society that is not always welcoming.
