Anh’s memoir emphasizes many instances of relatives helping each other, or family members helping the larger community. In telling the story of his family’s flight from Vietnam shortly after the end of the Vietnam War, Anh makes it clear that that the success and prosperity he found in Australia, his adoptive country, was largely due to a collective effort-the sacrifices that many around him, especially his mother-made on his behalf.
