At the Rotary

meeting Hai told about her experiences as a Vietnamese war orphan and

her adoption by a loving American couple. She spoke about trying to feel

part of her new country as she was assimilated into the American culture.

She told the group how her struggles with identity led her through the

"American dream" of success in the corporate world finally to

what she calls her "destiny" a collaborative effort named the

"Peace Project."

Hai is now

on a global tour to deliver the message of this project, that a child

can make a difference in the reconciliation between the United States

and Vietnam.

Her newest

book, "In the Arms of Grace: One Saved Child's Journey," shares

this hoped-for healing.

Although her

message is especially targeted to Vietnam veterans and their families,

Hai hopes that through her efforts she can inspire others to rekindle

their passion for life and reenergize their courage to succeed in living

their own dreams, not the dreams others have for them, as they join her

in the search for healing.
