Produktbeschreibung

Children born to American fathers with Asian mothers during the Vietnam War were labeled "Amerasian." Usually, they were abandoned by their fathers.
Somchai, the author of this book, invites you to visualize the problems these children face in this memoir, in which he recalls leaving his Thai girlfriend while he was serving in Southeast Asia after being drafted during the Vietnam War.
When he left Thailand, he had his doubts about being the father, as he served two separate tours of duty and discovered that his girlfriend had acquired a new boyfriend between his first and second tours of duty.
But as someone who knew what it meant to be fatherless, he never liked the idea of putting a child in that same predicament. Therefore, with a heart of compassion for fatherless children, he wrote this book to encourage those children who, like the daughter he ultimately embraced, have often had to navigate life alone.
Join the author as he shares an inspiring story of how he made his way back to his daughter after being absent for thirty-seven years.
