When Putsata Reang was eleven months old, her family fled war-torn Cambodia, spending twenty-three days on an overcrowded navy vessel before finding sanctuary at an American naval base in the Philippines. Holding what appeared to be a lifeless baby in her arms, Ma resisted the captain’s orders to throw her bundle overboard. Instead, on landing, Ma rushed her baby into the arms of American military nurses and doctors, who saved the child's life. “I had hope, just a little, you were still alive,” Ma would tell Put in an oft-repeated story that became family legend.

Beautiful memoir, full of hope, love and grief.

This was such a beautiful story. As a first generation Queer Chinese-Taiwanese American, there were so many things that I felt and never had the words for and Putsata said it perfectly. My family did not have the same experience as theirs but I know that every Asian American kid whose parents, aunties, or grandparents are immigrants can relate to this book in one way or another and will feel seen. The complexity of Putsata’s and their mother’s relationship is so real and hits home hard. The way they talk about straddling both cultures was on point.
