I've read this book called The Latehomecomer by Kao Kalia Yang last year and since then have become completely fascinated by the heartbreaking stories of the Hmong.
Yang is definitely one of the best new, young authors of today and is definitely one you should look out for.
I loved her dedication:
To my Grandmother, Youa Lee,
who never learned how to write.
To my baby brother, Maxwell Hwm Yang,
who will read the things she never wrote.
Her writing is simply fantastic!
