Fergal Keane talks to Suzanne Hook. Born in Saigon at the height of the Vietnam War, she was found under a bush and taken to an orphanage. Suzanne believes her father to be a black American GI, her mother Vietnamese. Brought to Britain and adopted when she was three, she went on to marry and became a successful businesswoman. But a holiday to Vietnam in 2006 changed everything. Suzanne Hook decided to sell all her possessions in the United Kingdom and found an orphanage in the country of her birth.
