- More about Family Style: Memories of an American from Vietnam
Thien Pham's first memory is the taste of the foods he ate while adrift at sea as his family fled Vietnam. Food takes on a new meaning for the Pham family as they struggle to survive and resettle in California, symbolizing belonging, happiness, and the American dream.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 240 pages
Publication date: 17 July 2023
Publisher: Roaring Brook Press
Thien's earliest memory is not a visual or auditory experience; rather, it is the delightful combination of sweetness and saltiness that comes from savoring watermelon and fish. It is the taste of the meals he consumed while lost at sea, as his family sought refuge from Vietnam.
Upon their arrival at a refugee camp in Thailand, the Pham family faces numerous challenges in their quest for survival. The situation does not improve significantly once they settle in California. Throughout their lives, food assumes a profound significance. Strawberries become a symbol of the struggles faced by Thien's parents as they search for employment. Potato chips, once a luxury, become a necessity due to the immense joy they bring to Thien.
Every slice of steak and every croissant holds a story. For Thien Pham, that story revolves around his search for belonging, happiness, and the American dream.
