An unforgettable Voyage...
Memoir of an 8-year old "boat person" who fl ees post-war communist Vietnam in search of a father and
brother rumoured to have escaped to the West. Braving sea storms and pirates in a overloaded fi shing
boat, Hiep and her younger sister are rescued by British sailors and interned in a series of horrifi c Hong
Kong refugee camps. Surviving by their wits, these displaced children of the sea create their own primitive
society amid the dispirited and desperate adults awaiting sponsors in the U.S.
At the age of eight in 1979, the Vietnam-born actress and her seven-years-old sister were separated from
their parents and left their village in central Vietnam as boat people. Their mother and older brother stayed
behind with her other children. The sisters lived in refugee camps in Hong Kong for three months, where they
were reunited with their father. They then immigrated to California before reuniting with their fi ve other
siblings. Her mother fi nally reunited with the family four years later.
Hiep was a premed student at UC-Davis, majoring in physiology, when she came to the open casting call with one
of her sisters for the Oliver Stone fi lm Heaven & Earth (1993) that was being held at San Jose State University
because several of her friends were doing it for fun. She was one of the sixteen thousand Vietnamese Americans
seen by casting scouts for the fi lm and was the one, out of the thousands, who got the starring role of Le Ly
Hayslip. Despite having no acting experience, she had half-dozen callbacks before she was fi nally chosen to
play the role of Le Ly Hayslip between the ages of thirteen to thirty-eight.
Since that time, She acted in several fi lms and television shows. She has graduated from college. She was the
owner and operator of the China Beach Vietnamese Bistro in Venice, California. She is now owner and Chef of
Le Cellier Restaurant Wine Bar in Marina Del Rey, California. complications from stomach cancer on Dec. 19,
2017 in Los Angeles Hiep passed away. She was 46.
Above all, Hiep is the proud mother of two.

"Since I've know her from, Hiep always turned something negative into a positive. As a child, she faced her
dangers, adversities and self doubts with an innocence and sense of adventure which refl ects the true resilience
of refugee children separated from their families and left to fend for themselves."
-Le Ly Hayslip (Heaven and Earth )
"Most of us 'come-of-age' not just once, but many times as we navigate life's passages. Hiep's harrowing,
true-life journey from innocent village girl to street-wise refugee--told with charm, humor, and precocious
wisdom--turns a boat-person's Lord of the Flies into a true Vietnamese Exodus: the portrait of a blossoming
young American painted with a bamboo brush. Like a river fl owing to the sea, Hiep's story sweeps us past many
amazing people, places, and events that most of us can scarcely imagine. It's a voyage you won't want to miss."
- Jay Wurts, coauthor of When Heaven and Earth Changed Places

Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
