It is generally understood that the Vietnamese are close: they are close to their family; they are close to their traditions and ancestors; and they are close to their history. As their country shifts into the future, these intangibles, essential to being Vietnamese, remain unchanged. The images in this series are the product of self rediscovery, as I explored my identity by revisiting my origins, and realized the life I would have lived had our family not left Vietnam over thirty years ago.

Beautiful, absolutely beautifully photographed - I loved every turn of the page. This is a real treasure and should be on the Staff Picks! Many thanks for sharing the whole of the book on what was clearly a very personal journey.
