The Latehomecomer: A Hmong Family Memoir by Kao Kalia Yang

challenging emotional reflective slow-paced

3.25

It is always hard to review memoirs, because how do you review someone's life? This was suggested as a upper school summer reading pick, and I'm not sure if it will be a popular choice--it is a very slow paced memoir, even as it is very informative of what it is like growing up without a homeland, within the refugee camps and refugee resettlement process in the United States. The writing is very reminiscent of oral storytelling, which fits with the story that she is trying to tell.
