Red Tears

“This totally captivating and emotionally charged true story of a ‘boat person’ will satisfy your need for proof of the dominance of good over evil, and will provide inspiration for all.” —Rev. Donald Williamson, author of No Nonsense Christianity When she was five, Kathy Nguyen was sold into slavery. When she was seven, she tried to kill herself. When she was fourteen, and the Americans pulled out of Vietnam, leaving her country in chaos, she became a prostitute. From losing her baby to escaping the country, her story spares no one: not the mother who sold her, not the men and women who used her, and especially not herself. Others may be concerned with what they’re missing, but Kathy is now, and has always been, concerned with how she can help. Grateful for even the smallest blessings, Kathy has turned herself into a guiding light. Her rise from poverty shows us all how far we can go with nothing but gratitude, courage, a kind heart, and a relentless willingness to work hard.
