Then, in April 1975, Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge army stormed into the city, forcing Ung's family to flee and, eventually, to disperse. Loung was trained as a child soldier in a work camp for orphans, her siblings were sent to labor camps, and those who survived the horrors would not be reunited until the Khmer Rouge was destroyed.Harrowing yet hopeful, Loung's powerful story is an unforgettable account of a family shaken and shattered, yet miraculously sustained by courage and love in the face of unspeakable brutality.8 a920 bLexile 8 aZ bRaz-PLus  aCambodia-Politics and government-1975-1979vNon-fiction aPolitical atrocities - Cambodia vNon-fiction aLindgred, Lauraedesigner
