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

5.0

Really compelling memoir about a Hmong refugee who grew up in Laos and escaped war to struggle with racism in America. The introduction really didn't hook me, but once it got into the father's story it really got good. The audio version is voiced by the author, and her voice breaks up in some of the really tough parts, making for a powerful listen.
