\nSummary provided by the publisher:
\n"As combat rages across the highlands of Vietnam and Laos\, a child is born. Ia Moua enters the world at the bottom of the social order\, both because she is part of the Hmong minority and because she is a daughter\, not a so n. When\, at thirteen\, she is promised in marriage to a man three times h er age\, it appears that Ia&rsquo\;s future has been decided for her. But after brutal communist rule upends her life\, this intrepid girl resolves to chart her own defiant path. With ceaseless ambition and an indestructib le spirit\, Ia builds a new existence for herself and\, before long\, for her children\, first in the refugee camps of Thailand and then in the indu strial heartland of California&rsquo\;s San Joaquin Valley."
