About the Book
CUC: Flower of the Delta is love story of two young Vietnamese refugees who survived the horrors of war in Southeast Asia, escaped by boat to the camps of Thailand and were resettled in the United States in 1981.
It's a little-told story of the tragic fallout from the Vietnam War, one that millions of Southeast Asians-and Americans-can relate to.
Most of the refugees found sponsors in United States and elsewhere, but after more than two decades they still have no place to really call home.
