APPEALS TO: SOME 

When a young girl's family is displaced by war and poverty, they sell their belongings to escape and try for a new life somewhere else. The journey is unbelievable dangerous, and only the very lucky are successful. 

This is a heart wrenching story - a memoir of the author who escaped Viet Nam with her family. The author's note at the end identify how many refugees there are today. Definitely a good choice for a class introduction to refugees, or for someone looking at the aftermath of conflict/war. The characters are Vietnamese
