When Mony Hang was two years old, his mother put him on her back and started walking. They traveled by night to escape the Khmer Rouge, first to Thailand and then to the U.S. and Portland, Maine. Now Mony is grown with children of his own. He remembers just snippets of their escape from Cambodia--running from soldiers and their bullets. While his mother deals with traumatic memory of genocide, Mony tries to pass on the culture of a country he never knew.
