(2) YA First Person Fiction series. Nakri's sheltered childhood ends abruptly when the Khmer Rouge evacuate her city of Phnom Penh. The book follows Nakri through four years in a labor camp, then her family's escape to Thailand and eventual immigration to America. Ho communicates heartbreakingly how, halfway around the world in Philadelphia, hearing Cambodian music gradually gives Nakri back the sweetness of her lost childhood. Reviewed in the Horn Book Magazine as Gathering the Dew, 5/03.
