For successful lawyer Mimi, 1980s Washington, DC, is a far cry from the war-torn Vietnam of her childhood. Time and large push of will have allowed Mimi to place those turbulent years behind her - that is, until the postcards begin to arrive. Postmarked from Thailand, each card is merely yet wonderfully rendered in the side of an musician recognized only as "Nam". Mimi can't visualize who Nam might be, a prickly problem considering his brief notes make it clear he recognizes her quite nicely. Driven to unmask him, Mimi commences what will become a decade-long search for Nam. Her quest eventually leads her back to her childhood home in a small alley in pre-communist Saigon. For there she was beloved by the boy who imagined one day being an artist, a youngster whose avenue diverged tragically from Mimi's when the Vietnam War ended, in 1975. Yet, as she digs deeper into Nam's agonizing history, Mimi uncovers an inspiring report of courage, survival, and the indomitable durability of the individuals spirit.
