An immigrant memoir that will pull at your heart strings, House of Sticks is an eye-opening tale of suffering and survival.
Author Ly Tran and her family flee from the aftereffects of the Vietnam war and relocate to New York in the early 90s. Struggling with poverty, racism, health issues, cultural differences and their father’s PTSD, the Tran family are amazingly resilient and ever hopeful.
Ly Tran’s well written account of her childhood is brutally honest and will give readers a new perspective on the immigrant experience and a better understanding of some of the problems immigrants face.
