An affecting sequel to Last Airlift: A Vietnamese Orphan\'s Rescue from War.
Now that she has been given a chance, Tuyet is determined to do what it takes to finally stand on her own two feet..
She has always dreamed of having two straight legs, of walking and running, of playing with other children, of owning a pair of shoes that actually match.
It won\'t stop Tuyet, despite her fears and her overwhelming shyness.
Her dread of doctors and hospitals brings back troubling memories of helicopters, a field hospital, and another operation in Vietnam.
There is only one answer; she must have a series of operations.
But polio has left her with a weak leg, and her foot is turned inward, making walking painful and difficult.
Tuyet feels safe at last as she adjusts to a new language and unfamiliar customs.
Brought up in a Vietnamese orphanage and rescued from the invading North Vietnamese army, she has been adopted by a kind and loving family in Canada.
Tuyet cannot believe her good fortune.
