Boat Baby: A Memoir (affiliate link)
NBC News anchor and correspondent Vicky Nguyen tells the story of her family’s daring escape from communist Vietnam and her unlikely journey from refugee to reporter with laughter and fierce love.
Starting in 1975, Vietnam’s “boat people”—desperate families seeking freedom—fled the Communist government and violence in their country any way they could, usually by boat across the South China Sea. Vicky Nguyen and her family were among them. Attacked at sea by pirates before reaching a refugee camp in Malaysia, Vicky’s family survived on rations and waited months until they were sponsored to go to America.
But deciding to leave and start a new life in a new country is half the story…figuring out how to be American is the other. Boat Baby is Vicky’s memoir of growing up in America with unconventional Vietnamese parents who didn’t always know how to bridge the cultural gaps.
A Clean Mess: A Memoir of Sobriety After a Lifetime of Being Numb (affiliate link)
What comes after addiction?
“For as long as I can remember, my mind was like a train with only three stops. Stop number one: getting money for drugs. Stop number two: getting drugs. Stop number three: getting high. During the years I should have been learning to save money, file taxes, and pay bills, I was stuck on a train to nowhere. Now somehow my train was on a brand-new course to somewhere I’d never been, and I was the friggin’ conductor.”
After the opioid addiction and jail sentence that she chronicled in her first memoir, High Achiever, Tiffany Jenkins was ready for a fresh start. A chance to try life again, this time without drugs coursing through her veins. What she didn’t expect was just how fast life would happen once she was out of prison. In just two years, she went from inmate to married and sober mom of three. And life, as it does, just kept happening: a few years later, her marriage collapsed, a crisis that forced her to reckon with the foundations of her mental health and sobriety.
