In 1968 Nguyen Qui Duc was nine years old, his father was a high-ranking civil servant in the South Vietnamese government, and his mother was a school principal. Then the Viet Cong launched their Tet offensive, and the Nguyen family's comfortable life was destroyed. The author's father was taken prisoner and marched up the Ho Chi Minh Trail. North Vietnam's highest-ranking civilian prisoner, he eventually spent twelve years in captivity, composing poems in his head to maintain his sanity. Nguyen himself escaped from Saigon as North Vietnamese tanks approached in 1975. He came of age as an American teenager, going to school dances and working at a Roy Rogers restaurant, yet yearning for the homeland and parents he had to leave behind. The author's mother stayed in Vietnam to look after her mentally ill daughter. She endured poverty and "reeducation" until her husband was freed and the Nguyens could reunite. Intertwining these three stories, Where the Ashes Are shows us the Vietnam War through a child's eyes, privation after a Communist takeover, and the struggle of new immigrants. The author, who returned to Vietnam as an American reporter, provides a detailed portrait of the nation as it opened to the West in the early 1990s. Where the Ashes Are closes with Nguyen's thoughts on being pulled between his adopted country and his homeland.Binding Type: Paperback

Fuel and repair costs are rising…
Why not make your (overpriced) fuel work for you? If you appreciate your internal combustion engine, and want to help avoid costly repairs or maintenance to your fuel injector system, you can!
To be honest the quality of fuel is often questionable (I’m looking right at you, ethanol). Modern fuel injection systems are squeezed for every iota of fuel economy and performance. It makes sense to be a little proactive with the preventative maintenance, it’s just good sense.
Adding Jectron to your fuel is a smart, and economical measure that you can take, to keep your injection system running as designed.
It won’t damage your emissions components, it won’t harm your fuel systems more delicate parts (O-rings, plastic tubing, filters, etc.).
There are plenty of great options out there, such as Chevron’s Techron, and a handful of other reputable products. I used to be a very strong advocate of Techron (it’s still my backup choice). However, after witnessing Jectron solve a battery of problems on a variety of vehicles, I’m a convert.
