After the fall of South Vietnam, fourteen- year-old Mai is forced to flee across the South China Sea to a refugee camp near Malaysia. But when an accident forces Mai to flee the camp, she meets a half-American boy named Kien, who might be the only person who can keep her alive until she’s sent to the US.

“This well-written . . . story puts emotions and a face to the word ‘refugee.’”—School Library Journal
