Product Description
Dragon House tells the tale of Iris and Noah—two Americans who, as a way of healing their own painful pasts, open a center to house and educate Vietnamese street children. In the slums of a city that has known little but war for generations, Iris and Noah befriend children who dream of nothing more than of going to school, having a home, and being loved. Learning from the poorest of the poor, the most silent of the unheard, Iris and Noah find themselves reborn. Resounding with powerful themes of suffering, sacrifice, friendship, and love, Dragon House brings together East and West, war and peace, and celebrates the resilience of the human spirit.
My thoughts
“Dragon House” is a courageous story of Vietnamese street children and the American woman (following her dying father’s last wish) to try and help them. John Shors’ novel is so well written that you feel that you are there experiencing what these characters are going through; not only the pain, but also the love and compassion. I learned what life is like in a country that I have never visited. This is a book worth reading.
