Summary
Kevin Vuong tells the powerful, emotional story of his parents escaping communist Vietnam, surviving a brutal refugee camp, and being welcomed to Canada when most of the world slammed its doors shut. He opens up about what that journey really cost his family, the values it instilled in him, and why he believes Canada has forgotten what real immigration and gratitude used to look like.
