About the Book

Trina Chu has led a remarkable life, from growing up in Vietnam in the years following the war there, to her escape with her younger brother, leaving behind her younger brother and mother, in order to join the her father and two older brothers in the United States. The whole family reunited in the United States after six years of separation. She tells the story of her escape here, in the pages of this fascinating and compelling book about that period of her life. It is difficult to comprehend what people were ready to do and the risks they were prepared to take, just to escape from a system they wanted to be no part of, and with echoes of what we are now seeing on another continent, and in another century, Trina vividly describes the journey, the hardships and dangers and her eventual salvation. Escaping Vietnam is a 'must read' for anyone interested in this period of history, or anyone just interested in one young girl's escape from a country she once called home.
About the Author: Trina Chu was born in Da Nang, Vietnam, but escaped from the country in 1982 with younger brother, becoming just another one of the thousands of 'boat people' who risked everything for freedom and a better life. Settling in the United States, Trina was educated at Boston Latin School, the oldest grade school in the country, before being admitted to the Ivy League's prestigious Brown University. She graduated with Honors in 1995, despite her low socioeconomic status, and has since gone on to get a law degree in 1999 and her Executive MBA degree in 2013. Her varied work career has seen Trina employed by law firms in Boston and Springfield, Massachusetts; Buffalo, New York; and Shreveport, Louisiana, helping a wide range of people find justice. A generous, community service oriented soul, Trina donates some of her time and money to good causes within her community, serving on the boards of many non-profit organisations, such as the YWCA, Shreveport Mayor's Women's Commission and The Shreveport Human Relations Commission. At home, Trina has the love and support of her family in the form of husband Quyen Chu, daughter Thuytien and son Yen, not to mention the two family dogs, Chloe and PawPaw. And when she isn't working or writing, Trina likes nothing better than going to the movies and spending time with those closest to her and her many friends.
