A beautifully poignant story about family, love, and loss. I am ashamed at how much I did not know about the Hmong people or their history, but Kao Kalia Yang does a spectacular job of sharing her culture with readers while also documenting the stories of her family. I love a memoir that is read by the author, and Yang's soothing voice swept me away to the mountains of Laos, the hills of Thailand, and the streets of St. Paul, Minnesota.
