Join us for an evening of live music by Jerry Sauceda, poetry and literature. Reading of Little Sister Left Behind will begin promptly at 7:00pm, book signing to follow. Chusma House Publications is pleased to announce the release of the stunning debut novel by an emerging writer, Samantha Lê. It is a fictional memoir of a family's struggles through post-war Vietnam and their journey in search of a better life on foreign soil. It is the story of wounded pride, as personified by Father, silent resentment, as depicted by the conventional Mother, and the fragility of innocence, as embodied by our young heroine. The novel takes us from the private struggles of familial bonds to the public crumbling of old traditions. This novel tells the universal tales of all immigrants in the United States through the eyes of a young girl. Little Sister Left Behind is a rare and honest portrait into the cultural changes and obstacles that many families undergo in order become part of the “American Dream.”
