Story Behind The Book

When I was a little girl, I noticed my family was always on the move. I didn't understand why and my parents didn't explain why. All I knew was that we were fearful, hungry, and constantly vigilant. Not until I became an adult did I realize we were moving to stay alive. We lived in a world ruled by violence and ignorance. We had to move to find food, freedom, democracy, and to protect ourselves from bodily harm. Therefore, I wrote this book to remind myself and the younger generation about our parents' journeys, stepping on land mines and dodging bombs and bullets to find a safe haven for us to grow physically, mentally, spiritually, and financially. Although almost two million Khmers had perished, those of us who survived the dark period of the killing fields and dispersed all over the world are their immortal seeds.
