Nick Dao to Visit Coffeyville Public Library
The Coffeyville Public Library kicks off the Big Read events with an evening discussion and book signing with author and former Coffeyville resident Nghiep "Nick" Dao. Dao fled Vietnam when he was 8 years old, just as Saigon was falling. He and his family eventually settled in Coffeyville with Dr. James and Mary Wilson as the family sponsors. The Dao family came to Coffeyville in 1975 and lived her for 8 years. Nick wrote Home Away from Home (2008) which details his family's escape from Vietnam and ultimate resettling in Coffeyville.
Dao will be at the Coffeyville Public Library on Monday, October 6, at 7:00 p.m. to talk about his experience and will have copies of his book available. Those wishing to learn more about Nick or download a copy of his book can visit
