What does it take for a 10-year-old child to survive alone in the jungle for two and a half years? Toua Tony Lee knows firsthand. His remarkable journey from a Hmong refugee child to American citizen unfolds in this powerful conversation about his memoir, "A Star on the Other Side."
This memoir chronicles his harrowing journey of resilience and survival against a conflict that many were unaware of, as the Hmong people stood alongside Americans in the shadows of the Vietnam War.
Now settled in Northwest Arkansas, Toua reflects on how his experiences shaped his parenting philosophy and appreciation for life's simplest pleasures. His oldest daughter Stephanie Richardson, who narrated the audiobook, offers moving insights about discovering her father's story as an adult and how it changed her understanding of him.
This conversation goes beyond one man's survival story to reveal powerful truths about human resilience, intergenerational healing, and the unseen stories behind every face we encounter. As Toua wisely notes, "No matter how refined someone may appear, judge not, because you never know what it took for that person to be placed in front of you."
