As a 17-year-old IRC volunteer in 1977, Jana Laiz worked with five Vietnamese refugee families in New York City. “Weeping Under This Same Moon” is based on Jana’s experiences and those of a Vietnamese artist she befriended. “Weeping Under This Same Moon” by Jana Laiz is a stunning achievement. Written with uncanny sympathy and intuition from the complementary perspectives of two teenage girls — one a Vietnamese refugee, the other a passionate yet unhappy American high school student — the book vividly portrays very different yet intersecting worlds. It is a moving, heartwarming, even inspiring book. I recommend it enthusiastically to readers of all ages and in particular to young adults." —George Rupp, President, International Rescue Committee For more information, and to purchase “Weeping Under This Same Moon,” visit www.crowfliespress.com -- 15% of proceeds of purchases made though the site will be donated to the IRC.
