Helpful Score: 2

I found this book to consist of two stories. The first is the clash between the Hmong family and the US medical establishment in Merced, CA. The second story is the history of the Hmong peoples. I found the first story the most interesting and quickest to read. The second story is slower to read and more bogged down in facts. The second story, however, helps us to understand why the Hmong are here and what their culture is about. An interesting read and reflection on Hmong culture vs American culture.
