A compelling memoir about one mans harrowing escape from Vietnam and the mystery of his fathers disappearance along the way

With the Fall of Saigon on April 30, 1975, the war in Vietnam ended, but the refugee crisis was only beginning. Among the millions of people who fled Vietnam by boat was Vinh Nguyen, along with his mother and siblings, and his father, who left separately and mysteriously vanished in the open waters.

Decades later, Nguyen goes looking for answers. What he discovers is a sea of questions and buried truths. To find his fatherand anchor himself in the presentNguyen must piece together the debris of history with family stories that have been scattered across generations and continents, kept for years in broken hearts and guarded silences. The Migrant Rain Falls in Reverse is the intricate exploration of a searching mind. By returning to the past, Nguyen sheds light on the psyche of a grieving person who chases certainty and seeks resolution.

As the fiftieth anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War approaches, Nguyen takes readers on a poignant tour of disappeared refugee camps, abandoned family homes and sinking boats. Along the way he examines strange reunions, stunted languages and unspoken conversations, and explores final films, migration photographs and impossible decisions.

Part fractured reminiscence, part invented history and part fictional fabulation, Nguyens story is about learning to live with whats already lost and the memories of what might have been.
