Spiritual Media Blog Excerpt
"In my life, there is Saigon, my childhood city, and there is Harlan, my daughter. One is loss and the other is love, although sometimes loss and love are intertwined. Both are volcanic, invasive experiences, their own particular battle zones, full of love and warmth. All‑powerful, all‑encompassing, searing, awakening. Once experienced, they take over your life, altering the very cells in your body, both in the moment and in retrospect."

Caregiver Warrior Review

"Family in Six Tones, a rich and fascinating memoir written by mother and daughter, Lan Cao and Harlan Margaret Van Cao, reaches across generations to share the impact of chasing the American dream. The bravery and fierce determination of both Mother and daughter to find peace and meaning within and with each other are prevalent on every page. Two distinct voices and one shared bond deliver heart-wrenching honesty and powerful storytelling.”

Reading Ladies Book Club Review
Sep 20, 2020 by Lan Cao
"I’m definitely recommending Family in Six Tones for readers who might work with or know refugees, for those who are interested in reading more about the Vietnam War from a refugee’s perspective, and for fans of thought-provoking memoir. It is an honest, heartfelt, detailed, and ambitious read.” —Reading Ladies Book Club
Talk Nerdy Book Blog Review

“The dual narrative makes Family in Six Tones so unique and elevates the storytelling. What results is a gripping memoir that allows the reader to understand the lasting impact of what it means to be a refugee.” —Talk Nerdy Book Blog
English Plus Language Review
Sep 20, 2020 by Lan Cao
"Family in Six Tones is prefaced with a line from T. S. Eliot, “Do I dare disturb the universe?” Lan Cao’s portion of this autobiography will disturb the universe of many Americans who lived through the sixties and seventies. Harlan’s portion may disturb contemporary readers. What a story they both have.” -- English Plus Language
