By reading it, you will learn about the history/background of your Cambodian students who survived the Kmer Rouge's massacre. It is also a great book to read out loud in class. This is an excerpt: "From 1975 to 1979-through execution, starvation, disease, and forced labor the Khmer Rouge systematically killed an estimated two million Cambodians, almost a fourth of the country's population. This is a story of survival: my own and my family's. Though these events constitute my experience, my story mirrors that of millions of Cambodians. If you had been living in Cambodia during this period, this would be your story too." Daphne
