About The Ground Kisser
Product Description Award-Winning memoir of a Vietnamese immigrant. See the impact Socialism had on one family through the eyes of a young lady and the lengths they went to escape. Her love for her family, perseverance and courage through unimaginable circumstances in her quest for freedom, and her profound gratitude to live under the banner of freedom, will inspire and encourage you. Review "Incredible heroine who inspires us all. I'm very happy and proud to have my fingerprints on this book. Thanh is in my Hall of Fame!" Barry Farber, CRN RAdio talk-show host, National radio Hall of Fame "Gripping story. I have held my breath so many times I am nearly blue." Eva Marie Everson, Award-winning author, President of Word Weavers International "This book puts an exclamation point on what it means to be an American. It should be required reading for alll students--for all Americans." The Honorable Tommy Battle, Mayor of Huntsville, AL "Being involved with the rescue of 29 Vietnamese boat people, this book was close to my heart. Very well written with no resentments, just gratitude every step of her life. If I was to recommend one book to read this year, it would be The Ground Kisser." B.B. Sands, XO of the USS Grayback submarine "Put this book at the top of your reading list. I have read this book twice, sobbing the first time. I vowed to read it again without crying, but failed." S Cote, Amazon reviewer About the Author Award-winning author, Lisa Worthey Smith, weaves stories of faith, hope, and love. She has been called the "parable teacher" for her gift of using ordinary events to illustrate profound truths. Lisa and her husband are empty-nesting in north Alabama, where she writes with a cup of Earl Grey alongside her, and tends her hummingbird garden. Thanh was born to a wealthy family in Vietnam, but that wealth vanished at the fall of Saigon. Her compelling story prompted all who heard it to suggest she write it in book form. She often speaks to veteran's groups, with a special fondness for those who served in Vietnam. She makes every effort to tell them "thank you," and "welcome home," and generously supports veteran's organizations as well as orphanages in Vietnam.
