Vinh Chung’s powerful and poignant memoir Where the Wind Leads has garnered more than 250 five-star reviews on Amazon.com. He opens with: “This is a story that spans two continents, ten decades, and eleven thousand miles. When I was three and a half years old, my family was forced to flee Vietnam. . . . Several weeks later my family lay half-dead from dehydration in a derelict fishing boat jammed with ninety-three refugees lost in the middle of the South China Sea. We arrived in the United States with nothing but the clothes on our backs and unable to speak a single word of English. Today my family holds twenty-one university degrees. How we got from there to here is quite a story.”
Thai pirates attacked the Chungs’ boat twice, but then a World Vision mercy ship stumbled across their boat and rescued them. His family eventually relocated to Fort Smith, Arkansas, where they faced poverty, ethnic discrimination, and an almost insurmountable language barrier. From one dream and a series of providential encounters, to a life of perseverance, sacrifice, and a new faith in God, Chung excelled and eventually graduated from Harvard Medical School. He and his wife, Leisle, currently run a successful dermatology practice and have four children. Where the Wind Leads is Chung’s tribute to the courage and sacrifice of his parents, a testimony to his family’s faith, and a reminder to people everywhere that the American dream, while still possible, carries with it a greater responsibility. All author royalties from book sales support World Vision’s relief efforts.
