For seven-year-old Raami, the shattering end of childhood begins with the footsteps of her father returning home in the early dawn hours bringing details of the civil war that has overwhelmed the streets of Phnom Penh, Cambodia's capital. Soon the family's world of carefully guarded royal privilege is swept up in the chaos of revolution and forced exodus. Over the next four years, as she endures the deaths of family members, starvation, and brutal forced labor, Raami clings to the only remaining vestige of childhood, the mythical legends and poems told to her by her father. In a climate of systematic violence where memory is sickness and justification for execution, Raami fights for her improbable survival. 000456087 650_0 $$aRefugees$$zCambodia$$vFiction. 000456087 651_0 $$aCambodia$$xHistory$$y1975-1979$$vFiction. 000456087 655_7 $$aAutobiographical fiction.$$2lcgft 000456087 85200 $$bgen$$hPS3618.A876$$iI52$$i2012 000456087 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:456087$$pGLOBAL_SET 000456087 980__ $$aBIB 000456087 980__ $$aBOOK
