Thăm Nuôi
How Love Survived Vietnam’s Postwar Re-Education Camps

Back cover blurb
After April 30, 1975, hundreds of thousands of South Vietnamese soldiers disappeared behind the barbed wire of Vietnam’s postwar re-education camps.
Though the war had ended, their wives began another battle — one fought not with rifles, but with love, endurance, and unwavering fidelity.
Month after month, they traveled dusty roads and crowded buses, carrying food, medicine, letters, and hope to husbands they were often allowed to see only briefly. Their journeys became lifelines. Their quiet sacrifices helped sustain the men behind the fences for one month longer… and another month… and another.
Thăm Nuôi is a poetic remembrance of those women, those journeys, and the enduring love that survived one of the most painful chapters in Vietnamese history.
By Jim Huynh, writing as VIETPHILLY.
