Never Fall Down by Patricia McCormick

4.0

full disclosure: i didn't think i'd like this. the cambodian genocide is scary as hell, and the book written in broken english which annoyed me at first. (mccormick says she didn't intend to do this, but found that the story only came alive when she wrote it down the way arn chorn pond told it to her.) but i pushed on a couple of chapters and became emotionally invested. this is really well done and deeply important- a piece of history that got left out from all of my history classes.
