Something is missing in your life. So, you go to a store and buy what you need. You get the flatpacked furniture home, open it up and spread the pieces out on the floor. But there's no instructions. The furniture is you. These are the instructions. You have everything you need. It's there on the floor. Getting it to work together in a way which actually solves the problem you started your day with is a huge challenge. You ask friends. Each of them has a different opinion. You try it their ways. Sometimes you get close. But it's not right. You laugh at your failures. The problem remains. A family member drops by. She knows what you should do. You try that too. That doesn't work either. Which makes you annoyed and frustrated. You tell her to go away. You sit alone, baffled, frustrated. Lost. Still trying to solve the problem. Still with everything you need spread out on your sitting room floor. Then a stranger rings your doorbell. He gives you something. It tells you how it works. It is the instructions. You put your furniture together and set it up in the house. The problem is solved. You clear away the mess. Now everything is better. It's hard to remember what was missing before, or the confusion you had to deal with. I am that stranger. These are the instructions. The Invisible Lion Flatpack instructions for life

Moving to America turns H&à's life inside out. For all the 10 years of her life, H&à has only known Saigon: the thrills of its markets, the joy of its traditions, the warmth of her friends close by, and the beauty of her very own papaya tree. 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.
