Bound for Home is a powerful and moving memoir that tells the story of Marie Yuen's journey from a refugee camp in Hong Kong to a new life in Canada. Through her vivid storytelling and unflinching honesty, Yuen shares her experiences of loss, resilience, and the search for belonging.

Yuen was born in Hong Kong in 1954. Her father was a Chinese immigrant who had come to Hong Kong to escape the poverty and political turmoil of his homeland. Her mother was a Vietnamese refugee who had fled her country after the Vietnam War. Yuen's parents met and fell in love in Hong Kong, and they had three children together.

In 1975, when Yuen was just 21 years old, her family was forced to leave Hong Kong. The Vietnamese government had launched a campaign of persecution against ethnic Chinese, and Yuen's family was targeted because of their Chinese heritage. They fled to a refugee camp in Hong Kong, where they lived for four years.

In 1979, Yuen and her family were finally granted asylum in Canada. They settled in Vancouver, British Columbia, where they began to rebuild their lives. Yuen went on to earn a degree in social work, and she has worked for many years as a social worker and advocate for refugees and immigrants.

Bound for Home is a deeply personal and moving account of Yuen's journey from refugee to Canadian citizen. She writes about the challenges she faced along the way, including the loss of her homeland, the difficulties of adjusting to a new culture, and the discrimination she experienced as a Chinese Canadian.

But Bound for Home is also a story of hope and resilience. Yuen writes about the strength she found in her family and her community, and she shares her insights on the importance of belonging and the power of human connection.

Bound for Home is a must-read for anyone who is interested in stories of immigration, resilience, and the search for belonging. It is a powerful and moving memoir that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
