The Latehomecomer: A Hmong Family Memoir

About this book

One Hmong family's harrowing escape from war in Laos to the uncertainty of a new home as refugees in Minnesota. Yang's award-winning memoir of her family's harrowing escape from war in Laos is a love letter to her grandmother, a troubling portrait of the consequences of US intervention in Southeast Asia, and a glimpse into the little-seen exodus of the Hmong people, first to refugee camps in Thailand and then, for many, to new homes in Minnesota.
