520    An intimate and poignant graphic novel portraying one 
       family's journey from war-torn Vietnam, from debut author 
       Thi Bui.  This beautifully illustrated and emotional story
       is an evocative memoir about the search for a better 
       future and a longing for the past. Exploring the anguish 
       of immigration and the lasting effects that displacement 
       has on a child and her family, Bui documents the story of 
       her family's daring escape after the fall of South Vietnam
       in the 1970s, and the difficulties they faced building new
       lives for themselves.  At the heart of Bui's story is a 
       universal struggle: While adjusting to life as a first-
       time mother, she ultimately discovers what it means to be 
       a parent-the endless sacrifices, the unnoticed gestures, 
       and the depths of unspoken love. Despite how impossible it
       seems to take on the simultaneous roles of both parent and
       child, Bui pushes through. With haunting, poetic writing 
       and breathtaking art, she examines the strength of family,
       the importance of identity, and the meaning of home.
