Thi has set out to uncover and document her family's history.

This is a story of resilience, the human desire to live, survive, be understood, be seen... to be.
This was incredibly hard to read on so many levels. War is always hard to read about and more so when it is a first person recounting of it but this is equally as hard because of the family dynamics depicted in the pages. It was so sad. There is so much to dissect and take in but it feels wrong to do so because this is a real person and real experiences most likely going through it still.

I don't even know what to say... This was a lot.
