Born in 1961 in war-torn Laos, Tswb’s childhood was marked by the violence of America’s Secret War and the CIA recruitment of the Hmong and other ethnic minorities into the lost cause. By the time Tswb was a teenager, the US had completely vacated Laos, and the country erupted into genocidal attacks on the Hmong people, who were labeled as traitors. Fearing for their lives, Tswb and her family left everything they knew behind and fled their village for the jungle.

Poor Performance, Beautiful Story
Revisado: 03-27-24
I purchased and listened to Kao Kalia’s previous books and they were beautifully written. Although her voice was a bit monotonous at times, no one knew better than the author on when to make voice inflections. I cried when I listened to her previous books. When I listened to Pamela Xiong’s performance, I was annoyed. Words like parents’ turned into parentses, brothers’ turned into brotherses, etc. The reader had a good understanding and pronunciation when it came to the Hmong words, but her understanding of the English language seemed to be lacking. Her voice inflections and singsong voice seemed inappropriate at times and was such a distraction that I decided to purchase the e-book and read it myself. I wish Kao Kalia had read the book herself as she did with her first 2 books.
