The Best We Could Do, the debut graphic novel memoir by Thi Bui, is an intimate look at one family's journey from their war-torn Vietnam to their new lives in America. Exploring the anguish of immigration & the lasting effects that displacement has on a child & her family, Bui documents the story of her family's daring escape after the fall of South Vietnam in the 1970s, & the difficulties they faced building new lives for themselves.
At the heart of Sui's story is a universal struggle: While adjusting to life as a first- time mother, she ultimately discovers what it means to be a parent-the endless sacrifices, the unnoticed gestures, and the depths of unspoken love. Despite how impossible it seems to take on the simultaneous roles of both parent and child, Bui pushes through.
With haunting, poetic writing & breathtaking art, she examines the strength of family, the importance of identity, & the meaning of home. In what Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Viet Thanh Nguyen calls "a book to break your heart & heal it," The Best We Could Do brings to life Thi Sui's journey of understanding, & provides inspiration to all of those who search for a better future while longing for a simpler past.
Thi Bui was born in Việt Nam 3 months before the end of the American War, & came to the United States in 1978 as part of the “boat people” wave of refugees from Southeast Asia. Her debut graphic memoir, The Best We Could Do (2017), has been selected as UCLA’s Common Book for 2017, a National Book Critics Circle finalist in autobiography, an Eisner Award finalist in Reality Based Comics, & made several Best of 2017 book lists, including Bill Gates’s top five picks.
