Now here was a gripping personal narrative account of Cambodia in the late 1970s. First They Killed My Father: a daughter of Cambodia Remembers is about the Khmer Rouge and the story of a young girl who was orphaned at a young age 8. (I think.) because of the war.
Ung tells the story of how she and her siblings survived war-torn Cambodia. Sadly, some family members did not survive and faced brutal death. Her later book, Lucky Child describes her journey to Vermont as a refugee along with an older brother and his wife.
Why am I discouraged? Why so sad? I will put my hope in God. I will praise him again, my Savior and my God. Psalm 42:11
