An intimate and moving portrait of one family's journey from their war-torn home in Vietnam to new lives in America

Trade Review
" Thi Bui's debut interweaves an account of her own life in the US with her parents' coming-of-age in, and eventual escape from, Vietnam during the 1960s and 1970s. [...] Yet this is not a book without hope. The Best We Can Do shows that empathy trumps hate, fear and cruelty." Times Higher Education Supplement

"...explore life for those displaced by the Vietnam war with great subtlety." The Observer
