The Song Poet: A Memoir of My Father by Kao Kalia Yang

5.0

Clearly, Kao Kalia Yang has inherited her masterful command of language from her father. This book made me cry in public over and over. Even the acknowledgments made me cry. But while there are devastating stories of loss, struggle, and inhuman suffering, it is the way she crafts words and images--sometimes in sadness, sometimes in beauty, often in love--that filled my heart into overflowing.

Read this book.
