Spend an afternoon with author, Hoàng Chi Trương as she celebrates her new book, Dragons Don’t Dance, the story of her father’s journey from Vietnam to America. Enjoy a reading with the author, sip Bogle wine, enjoy small bites, and have your copy signed by Chi herself. Books will be available for purchase.
Your ticket includes a wine tasting and small bites as we listen to riveting stories that remind us how much more we have in common than what sets us apart.
Book Synopsis: Dragons Don’t Dance is the story of my father, Colonel Trương Tấn Thục, and his journey from a poor village in central Vietnam to a career as an officer in the South Vietnamese Army, through decades of war, the fall of Saigon, and ultimately our family’s life as refugees in America. Drawing from his own writings, military records, interviews, and family memories, I tell his story not only from a soldier's perspective, but as his daughter—trying to understand the man behind the uniform and the history that shaped our family.
Book Reviews:
"A compelling and heartfelt biography and family history."
"Trương’s prose deftly balances an authoritative tone with strong narrative instincts."
"With this book, she does her father’s memory justice."
