Dragon House
Dragon House
by John Shors
Dragon House (7/13/2009)
I enjoyed reading this story very much. The author painted a grim picture of the lives of children living on the streets of Viet Nam, specifically Ho Chi Mihn City (Saigon), and how two Americans open a center to save those children.

The book is a page turner and I recommend …more

A Satisfying Read (5/21/2009)
