Trin Yarborough has been communications director and editor for the Institute for Policy Studies and communications director for Oxfam America, and most recently worked on the news desk of The Daily Journal, which serves the California legal community. She lives in Los Angeles, California.
"Trin Yarborough’s intriguing and compelling account of the
survival struggles of five Amerasians born during the Vietnam War,
and of their painful search for their American fathers, will tug at
your heart. It will also arouse disgust for the Vietnamese and
American governments that turned their backs on them and the
100,000 others like them."—Gil Dorland, author of Legacy of
Discord: Voices of the Vietnam War Era
"A riveting work of contemporary history on the aftermath of modern
war. Not only a major contribution to Vietnam studies, it makes us
realize that the pain and damage from armed conflict go on
virtually forever. Like the Amerasian children conceived by
warriors and victims in Vietnam, we all carry the burden of past
hate and violence in our very bones--and through the people
Yarborough brings to life in her book, we are able to realize what
a price we all pay for continuing to wage war."—Gerald Nicosia,
author of Home to War: A History of the Vietnam Veterans'
Movement
"No other book gives us so many important insights and information,
and such a deep understanding, of the almost unknown story of the
Vietnamese Amerasian children born of the Vietnam War and what they
suffered to survive both in Vietnam and later in America. Trin
Yarborough’s brave account of their moving, fascinating stories
also offers unique glimpses into seldom-recorded aspects of
Vietnamese culture. . . . This is a wonderful book."—Le Ly Hayslip,
author of When Heaven and Earth Changed Places and Child of War,
Woman of Peace
"Trin Yarborough’s remarkable book reminds us that no matter how
great our effort, we Americans cannot simply put Vietnam behind us.
Of all the victims of that misbegotten war, the Vietamese
Amerasians may be the most deserving of our attention. I’d ask that
as you read their fascinating stories, you remember national debts
that remain unpaid."—A. J. Langguth, author of Our Vietnam: The War
1954-1975
