Moving story

This book chronicles a Vietnamese woman enduring the Vietnam war and adjusting to life in the United States as a refugee. It is written extremely well and was very descriptive. I enjoyed the story and the narration was done very well

Tigerish, A truly compelling story

A truly compelling story that will grab your heart and you will find it difficult to hit the stop button. Well written and delivered with passion and personality! Tigerish is full of info and things we only wondered about now you can hear for yourself the trials and tribulations of a family forced into the life of refugee here in America

Even better than the book!

I had the opportunity to read the paperback and I was always curious about the proper pronunciations of the words and names and hearing the author pronouncing them right (instead of the butchering in my head) was fabulous. I also felt the emotion of the book even more as the author described her experiences. An excellent story by an author who takes us to her world and her toughts during such a difficult time in a young girl's life. Being an immigrant myself, though not a refugee, I could relate to a lot of her experiences learning a new language, making friends, finding acceptance and adapting to a whole new custom and traditions. A must listen/read!

Fascinating Story

I thought the book was thoughtful, well written and very educational. I really know so very little about the Vietnam era as I was young enough to be somewhat removed from it all at the time. I enjoyed hearing about her family’s escape and the struggle to acclimate in America. The author did a great job in narrating this book and doing so really lent an air of authenticity to the story. Well done!

Beautiful Story

The author does a masterful job conveying her and her family’s story. I highly recommend this book.
