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.

As a fellow queer Cambodian American, listening to this book was a refresher in empathy for my parents and all they have endured in the tragedy of history, and a reminder that there is hope and peace to be had in fits and starts on the long journey to healing. I’m grateful to the author for her frankness and bravery, and her liberal use of Khmer words/phrases that instantly took me back in my own memory of being raised - and hurt - by parents who were trying to raise themselves and were themselves deeply hurt. There is beautiful imagery and heartbreaking emotion conveyed in her writing.
