Take nothing away from the love a mother has for her child and commend her efforts more if she’s bold enough to tell the tale even amidst all the trials, travails and difficulties. It’s a long one from Ha Le, but it’s definitely worth picking up to read this masterpiece memoir.

This is not just the story of a lady who has suffered tremendously, it is a story of 3 generations of strong and courageous women, their Culture and Traditions, generational patterns and prejudice, and finally it is a story of transformation.

This memoir captures the true strength and resilience of the human heart. It's told between a past and present timeframe, contrasting modern life in Australia with the author's childhood and adolescence in Vietnam. Her insights into both cultures are fascinating, and she shares the hardship of her own growth and love of her family with honesty and vulnerability.

Ha-Le is an incredible, wonderful and amazing woman. She is a gentle warrior with the spirit of a goddess. I have been blessed to share some incredible moments in time with Ha-Le and her story is heart-breakingly painful, breathtakingly poignant, and incredibly uplifting. It is one that absolutely needs to be told.

I will be forever grateful for her courage in sharing her story with the world.

What a best book that I read in this year!!! Waratah helps me to tap into the infinitive strength of human beings. This is a great inspirational book that in which Ha- Le Thai leads us from one scene to another with breathtaking events in her life journey. I highly recommend everyone to have a copy of it.

This is a raw, heart-rending and deeply personal narrative of one woman’s struggle to overcome the haunting experiences of war-torn Vietnam and a broken family and their devastating impact on her later family life.

From charnel house, wild and dangerous sea voyages and imprisonment, this book is not for the faint-hearted, Ha-Le Thai’s story pulls no punches. Yet, with the benefit of hindsight and introspection, Ha-Le delivers timely enlightenment and a delightfully fresh truth that is both educational and inspirational. A must-read!
