Trang and Quynh: sisters who leave their rural village for the bustling city of Saigon 
desperate to find work to help their impoverished parents. When they take jobs as ? bar girls?
paid to flirt with American GIs  they must decide whether they are willing to turn their backs
on the people they used to be. Phong: one of the thousands of mixed-race children abandoned by
their American fathers and Vietnamese mothers. Phong grows up surrounded by rejection  insulted
as a ?Black American imperialist?  and a ?child of the enemy?. But he never gives up hope of
finding his parents and proving he is more than a ?bui doi?: more than the ?dust of life?. Dan:
A former American helicopter pilot still plagued by regrets about his actions during the Vi?t
Nam war. Now he has returned in the hope of confronting the demons that refuse to fall silent.
Set between the Vi?t Nam war and the present day  Dust Child is a sweeping epic of family
secrets and hidden heartache  from an internationally celebrated author.
