Vietnamese girl steals the heart of an American soldier...Kim was born in Saigon, Viet Nam. The second child of a family of 9 children. Her family was part of the very small educated middle class. Kim met and fell in love with an American sergeant. Their love story spans 2 continents, 4 decades, and brings together 2 very different cultures. Kim's father had already arranged a marriage for her so it was quite a "bomb shell" when the sergeant asked for her hand in marriage.
