"Liachoua Lee revisits his past as a former refugee of the Secret War in Laos. His journey of remembrance begins in Michigan, takes him to France, where he and his family sought asylum prior to immigrating to the U.S., and ends in an emotional return to his homeland, Laos, 40 years later. Set in three continents, Lee's journey intersects with the voices from three generations of Hmong refugees, historians and government officials of France and the U.S. Altogether they retrace Hmong roots in Laos, bringing unknown episodes of their fraught history and American and French histories into the spotlight."--Container.
