It's a twenty-foot drop off Flower Bridge…
With tanks approaching and bombs exploding mere yards away, five-year-old Long has only moments to decide whether to risk the jump to join his brother in the water below. The boys must leave everything they know in order to survive and unknowingly have embarked on an intense journey, one that will lead to a new life in America.
But even having come so far, the boys will face new perils in the United States and find that the only thing they can depend on is each other. Encountering the indifference and neglect inside a string of foster homes, Long determines that the only way to regain his independence is to earn his own money.
On a quest to have $5,000 by the time he turns 16, Long begins collecting bottles and cans by dumpster-diving and takes a job doing janitorial work. But that is only the first of many financial and personal goals Long will set for himself, and far exceed.
Join Long from his early life as an orphan, narrowly escaping the horrors of the Vietnam war with his older brother, to his current life as a family man with an investment portfolio methodically accumulated, now worth over $50 million.
Undeterred is a moving ride through the life of one determined boy who, despite the bigotry and hate he faces, carves out a place for himself in America.
