About the Book

How do we preserve the names, memories, and histories of those who came before us?

In Resilience: Keeping Our Name, Thuy-Anh Nguyen shares the powerful story of her parents' escape from war-torn Vietnam and the resilience it took to rebuild a life in Canada. Told through a compelling mix of interview-style narration and personal reflections, this memoir explores identity, survival, and what it means to grow up between two worlds.

From refugee camps and devastating loss to quiet strength and cultural preservation, this is more than a memoir—it's a tribute to legacy.
