that the book is centered around one familiy consisting of Dara, her older brother Sarun and their mother. The other

About The Author
Minfong Ho (b. January 7, 1951) is an award-winning Chinese American writer. Her works frequently deal with the lives
of people living in poverty in Southeast Asian countries. Despite being fictions, her stories are always set against the backdrop
of real events, such as the student movement in Thailand in the 1970s and the Cambodian refugee problem with the collapse
of Khmer Rouge regime at the turn of 1970s and 1980s. Her simple yet touching language and her optimistic themes have made
her writing popular among children as well as young adults.
