When writer and mother
Teresa Coates bought plane tickets to Vietnam for her kids and herself, she thought she was following her true love. Instead, she found that the love of her life wasn't a man – it was the orphaned and abandoned children in Tam Ky, the street sellers in Hanoi, and the graduate students in Thanh Hoa. She found a life that made her happier than she'd ever imagined, then had to leave it all behind. For love of family.
