Heralded by a remarkable horoscope of three tigers, Kim Roberts was born in the Village of Flowers on the Mekong River. Her life unfolds during the brutality of the French and American wars in Viet Nam, depicted with vivid and unexpected details about the secret alliances and complicated relationships among family desperately trying to stay alive, but caught between the "Shadows of the Night," the American Army, and the Vietnamese military. Haunted by a transforming meeting with an extraordinary American general, she finds a way, with her indomitable spirit and the fateful inspiration of her astrological guide, to escape violence and tragedy around her and make a near-impossible escape to America. This memoir tells how, against all odds, she achieves the professional life and independence her mother had always wanted for her and is at last reunited with the general. "The Vietnamese Girl with Three Tigers and the American General tells an epic story made even more remarkable by the fact that it is true. This memoir depicts the eventful life of a beautiful Vietnamese woman, raised in a small Vietnamese village, who overcame the tragedies of war, made a daring escape to the United States, and married the American three-star general who had commanded the U.S. 1st Air Cavalry in Vietnam. Love begins amid the chaos of the Vietnamese War-love preordained by her powerful astrological birth sign of three tigers that predicted a life filled with challenges, great sadness, conflicts, and exhilarating triumphs. From their first meeting, when she was seventeen, the girl and the American general find their lives inexorably intertwined. Despite detours, their bonds strengthen during the ensuing tumultuous years and eventually lead to a marriage in which they became a couple of influence in San Francisco. This thoughtful and detailed account by Kim Roberts follows the extraordinary story up to the death of the general." --Dr. Martin Pernoll
