Part 1: Family Background I was born and raised in a Vietnamese family with five children, cramped in a tiny house made of dry coconut leaves. The house, always on the verge of collapse, was supported by a pole on the side to prevent it from tilting every time a strong wind blew. Situated under the shade of a red guava tree, it was next to a garden full of various fruit trees. Our humble abode had leaky roofs every rainy season, forcing us to place buckets everywhere to catch the dripping water. The leaf house, prone to decay, had gaps that let in chilling winds.
