Laura Lâm is a journalist for DtiNews (leading bilingual newspaper of Viet Nam) and author. Laura explores her experience of growing up in the Mekong Delta and in Sai Gon during the “Vietnam War” in her memoir, Late Blossom. For three generations, her family was politically divided while her country was fighting wars of liberation against both the French and the Americans. Laura writes from first-hand war experience, with an understanding that deepens from years of living in the United States, Hong Kong, France, and Singapore.
Educated at Augsburg College in Minneapolis, Laura also earned a master’s degree at the University of Minnesota. Before becoming a writer, she worked for the United Nations High Commission for Refugees in Hong Kong. Laura and her family now live between Europe and Asia.
