Jasmine in the Wind
A memoir of childhood, memory, and resilience during wartime.
Welcome. I’m Linda West, and Jasmine in the Wind is my story — the memories of a young girl named Oanh growing up in wartime Vietnam.
Through fear and uncertainty, it was my Ba Noi (paternal grandmother) whose love, calm, and quiet strength carried us through.
She was the jasmine in the wind.
I invite you to explore my book, my purpose, and my mission of giving back — and the moments that continue to bring healing across generations.
