Recommende Reading: The Song Poet

   A Memoir Of My Father: The Song Poet, Kao Kalia Yang, author of the Late Homecomer.

   On the book jacket Jane Hamilton-Merritt writes:

   "Kao Kalia Yang allows us to hear the whispered sorrows and hopes of those transplanted onto foreign soil among strangers.  I predict that this mystical and historical memoir--of her Hmong family's suffering in Laos, of the rigors and fears of their life in a refugee camp, of the shock of finding themselves unprepared for city living in Minnesota, and of the pain of discrimination--will become a classic."

   One of the best books I've read and I give it a 5 out of a possible 5.
