(4) 4-6 Uprooted from their rural village in Laos by the turmoil of the Vietnam War, Kia's family is torn apart when only some of them are approved to immigrate to America. Most of the book focuses on their difficult adjustment to their new life. Although the story casts light on a little-explored aspect of history, the author too often summarizes events rather than letting the scenes play out in a dynamic fashion.
