And what’s more, he has plans to visit each state again and writes about those destinations too. Whether getting extricated from a locked Montana campground, assisting a rollover accident victim on a Louisiana highway or waxing lyrical about Nebraska’s Sand Hills, Garrison writes authentically about time spent in each state in the country we call home.

But now the Vietnam War has reached her home. H&à and her family are forced to flee as Saigon falls, and they board a ship headed toward hope. In America, H&à discovers the foreign world of Alabama: the coldness of its strangers, the dullness of its food, the strange shape of its landscape, and the strength of her very own family. This is the moving story of one girl's year of change, dreams, grief, and healing as she journeys from one country to another, one life to the next.
