This was a very captivating read about the oppression of the Uyghur community in China. The author is a poet who managed to avoid a very dark fate in a concentration camp by leaving his home country and moving to the United States despite the countless, near insurmountable, obstacles put in place by the authoritarian government. Thank you for this moving memoir - it makes me remember to cherish and appreciate the privilege of freedom and its expression we get to enjoy every day.
