Resilience: Keeping Our Name is a powerful debut memoir by Thuy-Anh Nguyen, a second-generation Vietnamese-Canadian.
Told in an intimate interview-style format, the book weaves together personal reflections and direct conversations with the author's parents-Vietnamese refugees who escaped post-war Vietnam and began a new life in Canada. Their story includes tragedy, courage, and survival: the loss of a child, encounters with pirates, life in refugee camps, and the struggle to rebuild from nothing.
Blending cultural history, intergenerational dialogue, and heartfelt insight, this book explores what it means to grow up between two worlds-and how the legacy of migration and resilience can shape an identity.
A deeply moving tribute to sacrifice, determination, and legacy, Resilience: Keeping Our Name is essential reading for those interested in diaspora narratives, refugee experiences, and the stories that connect generations.
Perfect for fans of: Minor Feelings by Cathy Park Hong , The Best We Could Do by Thi Bui , On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong, and Soles of a Survivor - A Memoir By Nhi Aronheim.
