In 1968 Nguyen Qui Duc was nine years old, his father was a high-ranking civil servant in the South Vietnamese government, and his mother was a school principal. Then the Viet Cong launched their Tet offensive, and the Nguyen family's comfortable life was destroyed. The author's father was taken prisoner and marched up the Ho Chi Minh Trail. North Vietnam's highest-ranking civilian prisoner, he eventually spent twelve years in captivity, composing poems in his head to maintain his sanity. Nguyen himself escaped from Saigon as North Vietnamese tanks approached in 1975. He came of age as an American teenager, going to school dances and working at a Roy Rogers restaurant, yet yearning for the homeland and parents he had to leave behind. The author's mother stayed in Vietnam to look after her mentally ill daughter. She endured poverty and "reeducation" until her husband was freed and the Nguyens could reunite. Intertwining these three stories, Where the Ashes Are shows us the Vietnam War through a child's eyes, privation after a Communist takeover, and the struggle of new immigrants. The author, who returned to Vietnam as an American reporter, provides a detailed portrait of the nation as it opened to the West in the early 1990s. Where the Ashes Are closes with Nguyen's thoughts on being pulled between his adopted country and his homeland.Binding Type: Paperback

Light, easily absorbed serum my go to for outbreaks.
I love Eczema Honey Serum. It has really done wonders for my Crohn’s dermatitis. I also use it on my hands. It really helps the extreme dryness of the desert.

WONDERFUL PRODUCT
I wish that I could give this product a 10 instead of five. I started using this Eczema Honey Serum in December of 2022. I was experiencing some difficulties with my face. My face was dry, and itchy. I would scratch and scratch my face. Needless to say, as a result of my scratching, I started getting black spots on my face, very embarrassing. I started using this serum and thankfully, the itching stopped and the dark spots went away. I use the serum morning and night. The serum has a very light fragrance. It goes on like an oil but quickly absorbs into the skin. I like that this is a clean product.

Good moisturizer, not too oily.
I often times use this in the morning before starting my day and it tends to really keep it moisturized for at least 4-5 hours. This is someone who has really dry skin and it constantly always having to remoisturize throughout the day. Nonetheless, I would still keep up water intake and try not to touch your face too much after applying. Quality is great and it has a natural smell that is not overpowering. Would def recommend.

Soothing
Feels good on, no major difference on the dry/flaky skin above eyelid, so time to see a dermatologist.
