The Memoir
"Buffalo Girl"
My Journey to Freedom
Published December 18, 2019
"Starved… Scarred… and Scared"
Buffalo Girl: My Journey to Freedom is a gripping drama, a celebration of the human spirit, and a beacon of hope for all. Hoang Taing affirms that for even the youngest member of a shattered family, forced to live in the bleak landscape of a war-torn country, love can bloom like a flower within — and with this flower to motivate and inspire her — not only survive but thrive.
Hoang Taing's inspirational memoir is a lyrical, poetic recounting of a time that many of us remember, but few of us have experienced. Hoang's story draws you in and carries you along as she reflects on the skills that spelled survival for her and members of her family.
Author Hoang Taing inspires all of us to arm ourselves with what might be necessary for our own survival in difficult times or trying circumstances.
"The obstacles Taing describes are jaw-dropping. There is no doubt that the metamorphosis of a shy girl who escapes the bondage of communist Cambodia to ultimately become an internationally revered philanthropist and peace advocate is a story that will inspire many for generations to come."
"Hoang Taing's story is a lyrical, poetic recounting of a time that many of us remember, but few of us have experienced. Motivational speaker Hoang Taing inspires all of us to arm ourselves with what might be necessary for our own survival in difficult times or trying circumstances."
Reader Reviews
This is a must read!
No book has held my attention or evoked emotions like this one! Hoang Taing paints such a vivid picture with her words that I felt as though I was right there experiencing everything. I was so immersed in her story that I stopped everything I was doing that day to read it. This is a true story of war, loss, survival, hope, strength and hard work.
