Ur baksidestexten: "The youngest of six children in a close-knit Buddhist family, Le Ly Hayslip was twelwe years old when U.S. helicopters landed in Ky La, her tiny village in Central Vietnam. As the government and Viet Cong troups fought in and around Ky La, both sides recruited children as spies and saboteurs. Le Ly was one of those children. Before the age of sixteen, Le Ly had suffered near-starvation, in prisonment, torture, rape, and death of beloved family members - but miraculously held fast to her faith in humanity. Almost twenty years after her escape to America, she was drawn inexorably back to the devastated country and family she left behind. Scenes of this joyous reunion are interwoven with the brutal war years, offering a poignant picture of Vietnam, then and now, and of a courageous women who experienced the true horror of the Vietnam war, and survived to tell her unforgettable story".
