Book Review of The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down: A Hmong Child, Her American Doctors, and the Collision of Two Cultures

reviewed on


I loved this book. I learned so much about the Hmong culture by reading this book. I also learned about how difficult it can be to have a sick child when you have a cultural barrier. I have a daughter who has epilepsy and there was so much I took for granted about her health care. I grew to love the family, the Hmong culture and history, and the writing style. Worth the read. I recommended it out to a friend to read as soon as I finished reading it.
