Little Dog grew up with his mother and grandmother in America. He brings us through the difficulties faced by the family as refugees with very little English.
He details the constant abuse he suffered at the hands of his mother and also brings us through the story of the traumas faced by both his mother and grandmother which have influenced his life.
Little Dog also struggles with his mother's reaction to his sexuality and the joys and heartbreak he finds in his own relationship.
This was a heartbreaking and beautiful story and had me crying within minutes.

I want to include one of my favorite quotes from the book: "I know you believe in reincarnation. I don’t know if I do but I hope it’s real. Because then maybe you’ll come back here next time around. Maybe you’ll be a girl and maybe your name will be Rose again, and you’ll have a room full of books with parents who will read you bedtime stories in a country not touched by war. Maybe then, in that life and in this future, you’ll find this book and you’ll know what happened to us. And you’ll remember me. Maybe."
