Description
How ambitious should our dreams be? In How Good Should I Dream, Vietnamese-American writer Bright Quang tells a story of survival, endurance, and the pursuit of freedom — a deeply personal memoir tracing a journey shaped by war, hardship, and displacement, and the long road toward rebuilding a life in America.
With honesty and quiet strength, Quang writes about the sorrow that shaped him, the resilience that carried him through, and the search for what truly gives life meaning. He contrasts the promise of the American Dream with the values of his Vietnamese heritage, asking what happiness really costs — and what a life well-lived actually looks like.
More than a memoir, a meditation on happiness, suffering, and hope — inspiration without easy answers, for readers of immigrant and refugee stories and Quang’s central question — how good should I dream? — lingers long after the last page. anyone questioning their own direction.
