About the Book

Freedom comes with high risks and disillusioned dreams. "Snow in Seattle" is the second book in the Snow trilogy and is the sequel to Amy M. Le's debut, historical fiction novel, "Snow in Vietnam". After escaping Vietnam with her daughter and nephew, Snow finds herself living in the refugee camps of Galang and Singapore. When she receives news of sponsorship to America, Snow's dream of starting a new life of freedom in Seattle comes true. Life in the United States, however, is nothing like the grandeur she imagined. Language barriers, cultural misunderstandings, and lack of resources are just a few challenges. Snow continues to push herself to the limit emotionally, physically, and mentally, to keep her family together and adapt to her new surroundings. She immerses herself in American society and the community around her. Along the way, she discovers not everyone is welcoming of the Vietnamese refugees and the soldiers she met in Vietnam have their own demons to face in a country that treats them as burdens, not heroes. Snow's quest to make Seattle her new home will test her grit and tenacity, her patience and love, and her willingness to forgive. This story is dedicated to the refugees and veterans of war. The novel won honorable mention in the 2020 Oklahoma Writers Federation literary contest.PRAISE FOR SNOW IN SEATTLE: "Author Amy M. Le has written a powerful, heartwarming story of resilience and family that inspired me and kept me turning the page. I couldn't wait to find out what happened next as Snow, the protagonist, struggled to adjust to the American culture while retaining her Vietnamese heritage. Le sprinkled this novel with humor, romance, and drama, and I highly recommend it!"-Staci Mauney, Editor, Prestige Prose"I highly recommend this book for those that want to learn more about refugees coming to this country and veterans returning home. Amy has touched on a subject that has been kept quiet for far too long."-Charles Peters, Vietnam War Veteran"What I especially enjoyed about Le's two novels is her literary mastery of real life. As you read the book's dialogue it's as if you're actually hearing the words with your ears instead of reading them with your eyes. That is a true gift. Too often, even today, when people say the word "Vietnam," they are referring to the Vietnam War. Le's novels, based on her family's true story, help American readers see that Vietnam is a country, not a war-and one that many of its people felt forced to flee. It's the amazing strength of those people that Le illustrates so well in these novels."-Bill McCloud, Vietnam Veterans of America"Author Amy M Le writes another brilliant book relating to the continuing saga of Snow, Dolly, and Tree as they arrive in a new land, new culture, and more importantly a new beginning. The books will give you more of an appreciation of the freedoms many of us at times take for granted."-Greg Simpson, Vietnam War Veteran"Snow in Seattle is an astounding story bringing to life the complexities of adjusting to a new way of life for Vietnam refugees. It engulfs you in this family's reality and the struggles they faced. Written with such beautiful passion, I felt as if I was there with them." -Tabitha Salom, Beta Reader "Snow in Seattle has been one of the best books I've read in a long time. Snow, her daughter, and nephew had such difficulties getting to Seattle. This story will open your eyes to what refugees and our Vietnam Veterans went through during and after the war. This book will make you laugh, cry, and cheer on Snow and her family. Definitely worth the read!"-Lori Kennedy, Beta Reader "I cried, laughed, loved, hated, and lived with Snow. The description of the food and atmosphere of everywhere around her is phenomenal. I could not put this book down! I was there with Snow from the beginning and hope there is more to come."-Bri Neighbors, Beta Reader
