Influences
Norman Vincent Peale and Jim Rohn

December 2013


My name is Julia Legian (aka Loan Thi Nguyen). I was born in 1972, South Vietnam. Or was it 1971? Nobody really knows so I prefer to err on the young side. In the 80s my family fled Vietnam as “boat people” and immigrated to Australia.

I'm happily married to my husband, Simion, and I have a wonderful, kind, and loving son, Jeremy.

I'm not a professional writer, just an ordinary person with an extraordinary story I'd like to share with the world.

“Please help me. My daddy killed me with a knife and I’m gone. Can you please send the army men or the ambulance? I woke up suddenly, uh, my dad he was killing my mom. And then my dad told me to go on the other bed. And then he was like, ‘You’re next’, and then he killed me. And I was still alive. I kind of survived.” – Read more of this blog post »

Beverly Low Oh wow Julia! I am so excited...I am buying it right now. There is nothing like someone putting their heart and truth down for the world to see. Just so courageous, thanks in advance and you. Can count on my review and recommendations! I was born in 1959 and was very young Julia, but I still see the images and feel the pain
