This book is a hauntingly heartbreaking tale of the atrocities experienced by the Cambodian people in the mid 1970's. It is based on the author's own experiences as a child in Cambodia. While it is a devastating tale it is also a tribute to her father with whom she shared a strong bond and a story of hope and perseverance. The book is beautifully written and will stay with me for a long time.
I love this quote from the author, Vader Rattner:
"For all the loss and tragedy I have known, my life has taught me that the human spirit, like the lifted hands of the blind, will rise above chaos and destruction, as wings in flight"
