AnnotationThis true story of a Vietnam War orphan describes his travails during the war and his rescue shortly before the fall of Saigon. "Long" is the son of a Vietnamese mother and an American father. After Long's father deserted them, his mother became severely depressed and returned with Long to her native village, where she is believed to have killed herself with poison. Long's grandmother took him back to Saigon with her, but eventually gave him to an orphanage when she grew too old to care for him. He was flown out of Saigon during "Operation Babylift" near the end of the war, and an American family adopted him and raised him in Ohio as "Matt Steiner." Steiner became a medical doctor and visited the orphanages during a subsequent journey to Vietnam. Black-and-white photographs accompany the text.
