This book is an incredible story! I can’t recall the number of times I cried throughout the book. No one should ever have to go through this kind of horror. Its easy to read and the imagery that the author conjures is vivid. Written by someone who’s English is not native but the true story does all the ground work to make you feel apart of the everyday life in Cambodia. A beautiful story of Hope and Courage! Thank you for sharing your story. I will certainly be sharing this to friends and family.

I’ve read a lot about Cambodia’s tragic history in the late 20th century, in which millions perished. This is the story of an ordinary boy, and what his particular family endured. Even though I knew he, and most of his family members, managed to survive, it was still difficult to read his account. This book is clearly written, and I recommend it both for adults and older mature children, who want a deeper understanding of the human toll of one of the darkest periods of history.
