The Illiterate Daughter

Scarsdale Publishing reached out and asked if I would be interested in reviewing this book.  Which I obviously said absolutely.  The story follows Nou and her family's struggles fleeing from Laos after the Viet Nam War.  This book will not be for everyone.  The writing style is short and succinct sentences which will turn some readers off.  If you can see beyond that you will be rewarded with a great story.  While this is historical fiction the story is based off of the experiences of the author, her husband, and their families.  This story is devastating and I had to stop reading it one day as I was just sobbing.  The only thing I didn't enjoy was the ending and it was because I didn't get any resolution as I wanted more of the story.
