All That We Had - By Sarina Tran-Herman

In the wake of the Fall of Saigon, Hieu’s journey to freedom traces one young man’s courageous escape from a homeland forever changed. Faced with war, loss, and the unknown, Hieu embarks on a harrowing path that millions of Vietnamese refugees were forced to walk — one filled with sacrifice, resilience, and unimaginable risk. This is not only a story of fleeing danger, but of clinging to hope, resilience, and the enduring will to build a new life from the ashes of the old. Through Hieu’s eyes, we witness the heartbreaking costs of war and the unbreakable spirit of survival. His journey is a testament to the generations who carry the weight of history — and the beauty of freedom hard-won.
