The author tells a story reflective of the experiences shared by many Cambodians who lived through the genocide under the regime of Pol Pot. The fascinating firsthand account vividly describes events during this time in history: her life prior to when the Khamer Rouge army stormed the capital city of Phnom Penh; several attempts by her family to flee the concentration camps; to finally leaving for America and finding a new life, while still searching for her now-separated family. The gripping story, both sad and courageous, reflects on the human ability to endure, and ultimately, persevere toward a better life.
