The Latehomecomer

The Latehomecomer: A Hmong Family Memoir by Kao Kalia Yang

 

This memoir is brilliant; beautifully crafted and eloquent, Yang takes the reader through her childhood. Along with thousands of other Hmong families, she made the journey from Laos, to a refugee camp in Thailand and finally to America.

 

The story of the Hmong people is a tragic one. Yang puts a voice to the immigrants that found a new life in America.

 

Yang is a talented writer with an honest, emotional voice. I definitely recommend this memoir.
