An excellent memoir that is truly a "family memoir" about Yang's family's harrowing journey through the mountains of Laos, surviving in the refugee camps in Thailand, and finally the challenges of being refugees in America, specifically St. Paul, MN. I learned so much and really enjoyed the way in which this story was told, which felt almost like it could be an oral history in parts - much like the way Hmong language and culture has been passed down - through the spoken word rather than written word.
