05 May / Lucky Child: A Daughter of Cambodia Reunites with the Sister She Left Behind by Loung Ung [in AsianWeek]

Lucky ChildOne child escapes, the other is left behind: In this continuation of the bestseller, First They Killed My Father, Ung recounts her journey from her war-torn homeland to a new American life. In sharp juxtaposition is the story of her left-behind sister, Chou, and their eventual reunion. A heartbreaking story of war, redemption, tragedy, and the unbreakable bonds of familial love. You’re human — you’ll sob.
