The Ground Kisser

More about the book

Award winning memoir of one young Vietnamese girl who left her home and family on a boat in search of freedom after the fall of Saigon. Her perseverance and love for family gave her the strength to survive the harrowing events that followed. Dubbed a "ground kisser" because of her tremendous gratitude to live in freedom in the United States, she gives thanks to all the US military who came to aid her homeland, at a time they so desperately needed it.
