It took two weeks for me to read Kao Kalia Yang’s new book, “Where Rivers Part.” That’s because at various times, I would stop and weep. For the hardships that her family endured. For the cruelty they encountered. And for the incredible spirit that kept and keeps them going.

“Where Rivers Part” is the incredible story of her mother’s life, beginning in Laos, moving to a refugee camp in Thailand, and then living in Minnesota. This book answers many questions.
