Bones That Float—a Cambodian phrase for the sacred that rises above the suffering—is a heartbreaking tale of hope.

“This rare book, despite its harrowing truths, is an effective and hopeful call to action – a nudge to your social conscience that will have you asking, ‘What’s my Cambodia?’ ” —Angel Limb, Artsline Editor WCVE-FM 88.9 Public Radio, Richmond, Virginia

“Told with fierce honesty and an affecting voice...” —Loung Ung, author of First They Killed My Father and Lucky Child

“Impossible to put down and haunting long past its end…” —Violeta Garcia-Mendoza, Rainbow Kids E-Magazine.

“A literary gem that employs sumptuous prose...” —Cathryn Alpert, author of the novel Rocket City.

“The universal story of every human on this earth...” —Arn Chorn-Pond, musician, human rights activist, and star of the award winning PBS documentary film The Flute Player
