Author Panel: Ms. Jackie Bong
Come and listen to the acclaimed author of "Autumn Cloud," Jackie Bong and her courageous journey to freedom. While the Vietnam War is deeply ingrained in a generation of Americans, its history is often one-sided - flavored with blame, corrupt generals and politicians, and the Viet Cong. What is rarely heard is the compelling story of ordinary people who struggled amidst chaos and upheaval. "Autumn Cloud" is that story.
