| For
many centuries, emperors ruled the country of Vietnam. In the late
1800s, France conquered Vietnam and the emperors lost their power.
In 1945, the last emperor gave up his throne in the hope that Vietnam would
be able to gain back its independence. This was not to be.
This book tells the tale of a woman who grew up in Vietnam and finally
was forced to flee the fighting and began a new life in the United States.
During it all, the one thing that kept her spirits up was a single lotus
seed. Why would this be so important? |
