About this listen

 Maybe It Will Rain follows the harrowing journey of Angel, a Vietnamese refugee, who escapes the devastation of post-war Saigon in 1975. Torn from her family during the fall of Saigon, Angel's traumatic past is marked by the suicide of her father, Dr. Tran, a prominent doctor who succumbed to the pressures of war and the betrayal of the American government. In the chaos of the war’s final days, Angel is separated from her siblings and finds herself alone, navigating a world that has been torn apart by conflict.

Relocated to Texas, Angel’s story of survival unfolds as she embarks on a quest to rebuild her life and reconnect with the family she thought lost forever. Her brother Vuong, once a vibrant young man, is now a shell of his former self after enduring years of brutal imprisonment in a Communist reeducation camp. Her sister Christina, having survived a violent kidnapping and rape at the hands of the Khmer Rouge, struggles to reclaim a semblance of normalcy while suppressing her trauma behind a carefully constructed facade of success.

Set against the contrasting backdrops of Houston and war-torn Vietnam, Angel confronts the ghosts of her past as she adjusts to her new life in America. With the help of SW, a Vietnam veteran grappling with his own war scars, and other survivors of the refugee community, Angel begins to piece together her fragmented memories. As she comes to terms with the family tragedies, she finds herself torn between the desire to live an ordinary life and the burden of the unresolved trauma that haunts her every step.

Through the lives of her family, Maybe It Will Rain examines the long-lasting effects of war, displacement, and the human spirit’s relentless drive to survive. Angel’s journey becomes a profound exploration of identity, loss, and the enduring hope for reconciliation in a world forever changed by violence.
