AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'From Saigon to Sydney, from Fremantle to the Blue Mountains. Three intensely emotional relationships begin to crumble in the present, under pressures from the secrets of the past. This is a modern love story - a compelling journey that peels away the superficial present to reveal the history that lingers at the core of who we are, and proves that we are the sum of all who love us. Even if we can never know the Full Story.'

From the chaos and fear of post-war Saigon, and the terror of pirates on the open ocean, to the triumph and tragedy of a new life, Only the Heart is the story of Toan and Linh, and a family that endures the nightmare, in search of the dream. When logic says the dream is beyond your reach, only the heart knows the truth.
