"Theary Seng, a young Khmer-American lawyer, experienced the full horror of the Pol Pot regime, (1975-1979) when she was a child in her native Cambodia. In this compelling, clear-headed memoir, she exhibits all the courage and resilient street smarts of a true survivor while relating the story of almost incomprehensible suffering and loss." 

 - David Chandler, author of Brother Number One: A political Biography of Pol Pot
