Title: Grass roof, tin roof
Description: "Told from multiple perspectives and interwoven with the intimate reflections of a middle child, Grass Roof, Tin Roof begins with the story of Tran, a Vietnamese writer facing government persecution, who flees her homeland during the exodus of 1975 and brings her two children to the West. Here she marries a man who has survived a different war. He promises understanding and guidance, but the psychic consequences of his past soon hinder his relationships with the family.

The children, for whom war is now a distant shadow, struggle to understand the world around them on their own terms."--BOOK JACKET.
