"My Father The Badass" - by Miki Nguyen
"My Father The Badass", a non-fiction paperback, follows on the success of the film with more personal amazing stories and heroic tales that will inspire and empower the reader to overcome their own personal challenges and struggles. Throughout the book, Miki delves far more deeply into that fateful day. A book is always more generous with anecdotes than a film. Aside from the dramatic Chinook ditch, Miki also relates stories of love, teamwork, and devotion that his parents shared for each other from the first day they met. Upon reaching America, the family had to kick start life all over again as refugees during the summer of 1975, with no money, no English language skills and three children to feed. These are the stories Miki shares, again in anticipation of inspiring the audience with his own family’s personal struggles, and the ability to overcome them. Order NOW on Amazon.com!
