Book Description
Carlos Beltowers must get the Case at all costs. It didn't matter to him who he used or stepped on to get it. The Triads were involved and so was the Roman Catholic Church, but none of them counted on The Sons of the East to have the interest, influence, and finance, to be a player in this game of possession which had David Chen, The Drone, in the middle. David was in Manila to support his friend, Jack Leoni. Jack's trial was set. Bridgett was also in the Philippines. Carlos Beltowers had enticed her to work for him as a ploy to entrap David David was on the run. It became clear to the seekers that they needed the real Bracelet to control the Case. At every turn, his life was in danger. Then Bridgett was kidnapped. It seemed Carlos' son Michael had become so infatuated with her that he couldn't bear to lose her. The Sons of the East became major players in the sought-after Case. Life was of little value to them. They didn't care whether David lived or died; as long as they got the Case and the bracelet.

Pages : 128
Book Description
An unforgettable Voyage... Memoir of an 8-year old "boat person" who fl ees post-war communist Vietnam in search of a father and brother rumoured to have escaped to the West. Braving sea storms and pirates in a overloaded fi shing boat, Hiep and her younger sister are rescued by British sailors and interned in a series of horrifi c Hong Kong refugee camps. Surviving by their wits, these displaced children of the sea create their own primitive society amid the dispirited and desperate adults awaiting sponsors in the U.S. At the age of eight in 1979, the Vietnam-born actress and her seven-years-old sister were separated from their parents and left their village in central Vietnam as boat people. Their mother and older brother stayed behind with her other children. The sisters lived in refugee camps in Hong Kong for three months, where they were reunited with their father. They then immigrated to California before reuniting with their fi ve other siblings. Her mother fi nally reunited with the family four years later. Hiep was a premed student at UC-Davis, majoring in physiology, when she came to the open casting call with one of her sisters for the Oliver Stone fi lm Heaven & Earth (1993) that was being held at San Jose State University because several of her friends were doing it for fun. She was one of the sixteen thousand Vietnamese Americans seen by casting scouts for the fi lm and was the one, out of the thousands, who got the starring role of Le Ly Hayslip. Despite having no acting experience, she had half-dozen callbacks before she was fi nally chosen to play the role of Le Ly Hayslip between the ages of thirteen to thirty-eight. Since that time, She acted in several fi lms and television shows. She has graduated from college. She was the owner and operator of the China Beach Vietnamese Bistro in Venice, California. She is now owner and Chef of Le Cellier Restaurant Wine Bar in Marina Del Rey, California. complications from stomach cancer on Dec. 19, 2017 in Los Angeles Hiep passed away. She was 46. Above all, Hiep is the proud mother of two. Author Hiep Thi Le Co-founder Jill Powell "Since I've know her from, Hiep always turned something negative into a positive. As a child, she faced her dangers, adversities and self doubts with an innocence and sense of adventure which refl ects the true resilience of refugee children separated from their families and left to fend for themselves." -Le Ly Hayslip (Heaven and Earth ) "Most of us 'come-of-age' not just once, but many times as we navigate life's passages. Hiep's harrowing, true-life journey from innocent village girl to street-wise refugee--told with charm, humor, and precocious wisdom--turns a boat-person's Lord of the Flies into a true Vietnamese Exodus: the portrait of a blossoming young American painted with a bamboo brush. Like a river fl owing to the sea, Hiep's story sweeps us past many amazing people, places, and events that most of us can scarcely imagine. It's a voyage you won't want to miss." - Jay Wurts, coauthor of When Heaven and Earth Changed Places
