The Unwanted: A Memoir of Childhood
crackabook avatar reviewed on


Yet another story of how the American government's departure from Vietnam has caused untold hardship on a family, individual. We are given the insight into the life of Kien Nguyen and his tramatic childhood as he grew up in a country that feels it's blood line should remain pure, any mixed blood at birth is a detestable thing to them, and a mother who was to involved with herself when she had money, however, when money was lost she reverted to the animalistic tendencies she must have had prior to it. I can not believe her circumstances lead her to the behavior she had. Interesting read if you have the patience.
