Loung Ung was only five years old when PolPot's Khmer Rouge took over Phnom Penh in 1975. As with hundreds of others, her family was forced to leave thier home. What follows is a harrowing tale of survival and courage of a child and her family. Written with innate passion, this memoir speaks for all survivors of that brutal regime. You will read this moving memoir through tears. Truly unforgettable.
Excerpt taken from the book - "Pa believes the war will last for a long time and this make the very act of living sad for him"
