From a childhood survivor of the Camdodian genocide under the regime of Pol Pot, this is a riveting narrative of war crimes and desperate actions, the unnerving strength of a small girl and her family, and their triumph of spirit.

One of seven children of a high-ranking government official, Loung Ung lived a privileged life in the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh until the age of five. 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.

LOVE. Ordering more colors.
Size: Medium, Color: Porpoise, Size: Medium, Color: Porpoise
I absolutely LOVE this sweater. This sweater is so flattering and comfortable. Great quality and the material is cozy and soft. I will be ordering this in more colors for sure! I just got it today but I know this will be my go to this season for lounging as well as being out and about. It could easily be dressed up or down and I love the Porpoise color I got (see photos). Originally I thought this came in a set but I still thinks its worth the price for just the sweater and I plan to order the shorts anyway. I got the medium and it fit true to size and so flattering. I am 5ft 2 and about 140lbs being heavier in my legs/hips. I generally wear a small/medium on top depending on the style and a large/XL on bottom. Definitely will be getting more colors!!

beautiful Perfect Sweater! Highly Recommend!
Size: 3X, Color: Zephyr Pink
Gorgeous color. Soft and snuggly. Cool enough in summer for office wear. My office sometimes gets cold even in the summer and this sweater is perfect. I wear it with brown slacks and it looks very professional but could be dressed down for casual affairs. The cut is generous and maybe even runs a little large however, I like the loose fit. I still can't get over the neutral pink color. It is just amazing and was a real steal as it was on sale when I ordered it!

Stylish and comfortable
Size: 3X, Color: Porpoise
I love the slit in the back, it elevates the sweater well. It’s comfortable and made out of a thick, quality material. The only downside is that the sleeves are quite long and don’t roll up well. Otherwise I love it!

Cute but pills
Size: 3X, Color: Chocolate
Runs a little big. I’m good with that. The style and brown color are great! I love the wide sleeves. The material is very soft and cozy…but I wore it once for 3 hours and the sides and stomach area pilled. I am disappointed. I am going to hand wash it and see what it looks like. I may need to return it.
