A Good Read

I came across a great book while browsing the summer read stacks at B&N with my Mom this past week in Virginia. The kids trip to Cambodia inspired me to learn more about the country and I was excited when I found FIRST THEY KILLED MY FATHER by Loung Ung. The book is a memoir written in the voice of a 5 year old girl whose once ordinary life suddenly becomes a desperate struggle to survive. I was surprised and embarrased that I knew so little about a holocaust that occurred during my lifetime. I didn't realize that Pol Pot killed more people than Hitler.
