A Saigon refugee bridges the gaps in a new memoir with Hoangmai Pham

Hoangmai Pham is a Vietnamese American refugee and physician, founder of the Institute for Exceptional Care. In our conversation she shares how her family escaped from Saigon before the fall, what it was like adapting to an American life, the challenges of understanding her identity when no one would talk to her about the past, and how she ended up moving back to Vietnam for a year to get answers.

Mai shares all this and more in her debut memoir, Bridge from Saigon, available on Amazon.
