Life for ten-year-old Linh was hard enough during the years post Vietnam war, but to be separated from her mother during an attempt to escape Vietnam in 1979 was unimaginable.  With no knowledge of her mother and baby sister's whereabouts, or even whether they are still alive, she and her father and brother make a second attempt to escape. Landing in a refugee camp, Linh is troubled when her father’s wedding ring disappears and he becomes good friends with another female refugee. What if her father decides he wants a new wife? What if they never reunite with her mother? She must act fast. Her family is dwindling right before her eyes.
