Told through vivid, hand-rendered illustrations and shaped by a decade of careful storytelling, Roses from the Crimson Rock traces one family's extraordinary journey from Vietnam to the United States. Spanning the land reform campaigns of the 1950s, multiple escape attempts, crushing postwar poverty, and a perilous sea crossing in the 1980s—where they faced pirates, storms, and the constant threat of death—the story is one of endurance, sacrifice, and fierce love.

The conversation will explore the lived experience behind the book and how multiple generations came together to tell a story that turns out to be more relevant to the present day than they initially expected.
