Little Saigon by David St. John

The story is about the two sisters and their mother. Their father was a Buddhist who died. They are planning to leave their own place of murders, the old police and mothers’ friends in search of a better place to live. They wanted to leave France for United State. Ngoc Be and Mai Chi were boarded the boat separately from their mother by Jack Pirate.

On the boat voyage, the man did not give water and food to the two sisters and planned to have sex with Ngoc Be for few weeks. Sailors from the fishing ship found them and lock the Jack Pirates. Sailors took them and shipped to Little Saigon, California in America. They were waiting for their mother but she didn’t come. She died in the sea by the storm that made the boat overbroad.

Their Aunt Kahnh , their mother’s sister, heard this and came to take the two sisters from Saigon and went back to Paris. They were able to take care of them. The two sisters looked at the painting and remembered about their mother. They felt that mother was telling them that she was finally safe but Mai Chi whispered to Ngoc Be that they were finally safe too.

I feel pity on them because they lost their loved one, mother. I am hoping that they are going to have better future. They get good education and better job and get married to a good family.
