Like hundreds of thousands of boat people who were refugees of the Vietnam War, they risked their lives in the open seas on a rickety boat that was anything but a sea-worthy vessel. They ended up on a refugee camp in Indonesia before getting sponsored to Seattle, WA in 1980. Shortly after arriving, Amy was rushed to the hospital for a life-saving operation. Being an immigrant in a foreign land and navigating through the complexities of a Western society posed many challenges for the family. Through perseverance, familial bonds, love and forgiveness, Amy's family went from surviving to thriving.Amy graduated from Western Washington University with a degree in Sociology and worked in the technology and telecommunications sector for twenty years.
