(2) YA With Martha E. Kendall. This riveting memoir begins in 1973 when the Khmer Rouge attack the Cambodian village of nine-year-old Nawuth, killing five of his family members. His stamina and resourcefulness as he and his remaining family endure unthinkable horrors is astonishing. Readers take comfort knowing upfront that Nawuth is alive today, and, with the help of his professor, Kendall, sharing his extraordinary tale. Timeline.
