Her mother was half Chinese and half French, while her father was half Chinese and half Vietnamese. After the death of her mother and abandonment by her father, she moved to Vietnam with an uncle and lived with his family there. Shortly after, when her uncle’s wife became pregnant, she was put in an orphanage and was responsible for taking care of the younger children, running away many times during her time there. She was adopted by an American family and moved to the United States when she was a teenager right before the end of the war, and as the only Asian in her school who barely spoke English, she was often ostracized by her classmates. Her two children are now fully grown and on their own. Susan now resides in San Diego, California with her husband, and her dog [Profile bio]
