This graphic novel tells the true story of one family’s struggle to survive the reign of the Khmer Rouge. Spending months walking across Cambodia to safety, trading items for food, lying, sneaking, seeking assistance from relatives - this is such a powerful retelling of a horrendous time in history.

Although not something that is “enjoyable” to read, I found it such an impactful read and increased my knowledge of the history of Cambodia and definitely recommend this novel.
