About This Book
When Nakri and her older siblings are ripped away from their family by the cruel Khmer Rouge and sent to work in a children's labor camp, Nakri bears witness to innumerable tragedies, paying too dear a price.
After the Vietnamese army liberates Cambodia, Nakri returns to her mother's village, where they decide to seek refuge in America. Upon arriving in America, Nakri struggles to adjust to life in a completely new and different society, but she is caught up in the memories of all that she left behind.
