In 1968 Nguyen Qui Duc was nine years old, his father was a high-ranking civil servant in the South Vietnamese government, and his mother was a school principal. Then the Viet Cong launched their Tet offensive, and the Nguyen family's comfortable life was destroyed. The author's father was taken prisoner and marched up the Ho Chi Minh Trail. North Vietnam's highest-ranking civilian prisoner, he eventually spent twelve years in captivity, composing poems in his head to maintain his sanity. Nguyen himself escaped from Saigon as North Vietnamese tanks approached in 1975. He came of age as an American teenager, going to school dances and working at a Roy Rogers restaurant, yet yearning for the homeland and parents he had to leave behind. The author's mother stayed in Vietnam to look after her mentally ill daughter. She endured poverty and "reeducation" until her husband was freed and the Nguyens could reunite. Intertwining these three stories, Where the Ashes Are shows us the Vietnam War through a child's eyes, privation after a Communist takeover, and the struggle of new immigrants. The author, who returned to Vietnam as an American reporter, provides a detailed portrait of the nation as it opened to the West in the early 1990s. Where the Ashes Are closes with Nguyen's thoughts on being pulled between his adopted country and his homeland.Binding Type: Paperback

Excellent Quality Bamboo Cutting Board Set – Durable, Beautiful & Practical!
Color: Carbonized, Size: 3-piece
I’m very impressed with this 3-piece bamboo cutting board set! The different sizes are perfect for all my kitchen needs, from chopping vegetables and fruits to preparing meat and serving cheese. The bamboo is sturdy, smooth, and feels very high quality.
I love the deep juice grooves, which help keep my countertops clean when cutting juicy fruits or meats. The boards arrived well-finished and pre-oiled, and they have held up beautifully without cracking or warping. They are lightweight enough to handle easily but still solid and durable.
The natural bamboo look adds a nice touch to my kitchen, and cleaning them is quick and simple. Overall, this is an excellent value for the quality and versatility you get. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable, attractive cutting boards!

Solid bamboo board set for the price
Color: Carbonized, Size: 3-piece
This bamboo cutting board set has been a nice addition to my kitchen. I like having different sizes available, and I especially appreciate being able to reduce how often I use plastic cutting boards. Mine did have a strong odor at first, but after washing them and letting them air out, that went away. They also seem good for the price
