Author Description

The Vietnamese Mayflowers of 1975 reveals the human experience amid the chaos of war through the lively pen of medical doctors. Having grown up, studied and participated in a deadly conflict where the frontlines were nowhere and everywhere, these physicians provide a wide perspective on human sacrifice, resilience, adaptation, ingenuity and hope. The writers identify with the Mayflower Pilgrims as they too fled their homeland and crossed the seas with their families in search of freedom. Now, well adjusted within a diverse American society, they preserve their own culture with historically accurate and deeply personal accounts.
