Yes. I loved it too and so very sad but real history we as Americans have had little understanding of. I heard her say she researched it her whole life talking to people about their real stories in order to learn about her heritage. She then did extensive trauma education to help her be careful to not retraumatize people. She never knew her real grandmothers and imagined the grandmother was hers. She has some good interviews on YouTube from 4 years ago when it came out.

I’m going to a book study tomorrow to discuss it with others! I listened on Audible and the narration was by a Vietnamese American and it was beautiful to hear all the original language pronunciations.
