The Latehomecomer: A Hmong Family Memoir by Kao Kalia Yang

4.0

This book does an excellent job of showing one Hmong family as they survived the war, fled their country, and ultimately came to the mid-west. It was nice to hear this story through the voice of one who had experienced it. I have read several fictionalized children's books that presented typical Hmong refugee stories, but those books were not written by Hmong. I think they were realistic, but in this case I didn't wonder as much about authenticity.

The author is a great storyteller and it is wonderful to see someone that treasures their heritage and their elders so much.
