In a memoir where heroism meets humor, NBC News anchor Vicky Nguyen tells the story of her family’s daring escape from communist Vietnam and her unlikely journey from refugee to reporter. Starting in 1975, Vietnam’s “boat people” fled the violence in their country any way they could, usually by boat across the South China Sea. Vicky Nguyen and her family were among them. But deciding to leave and start a new life in a new country is half the story…figuring out how to be American is the other. “Boat Baby” is a testament to the messy glue that bonds a family and illuminates the promise of what America can be.
In conversation with Michelle Li, KSDK News Anchor and Founder of The Very Asian Foundation.
Books available from The Novel Neighbor.
