An absolute revelation and a ‘social issues’ must read for everyone. I found Beautiful Hero a truly an inspiring story of how Jennifer Lau, her 5 siblings, and her parents survived the genocide in Khmer Rouge Cambodia. The memoir highlights just how brutal and destructive a society based on greed, anger, hate and bullying can be. Jennifer quantified it for all of us when said, ‘…fifteen people out of my family of forty-six: a thirty-two percent casualty rate ….of us who marched into the countryside during the forced evacuation didn’t make It out alive.’ I have never understood the anger/hate mentality that seems to live by the call-to-action, ‘I must find someone to hate.’ Thank you for your beautiful book that I hope sparks a bit of a return to servility and tolerance for our society.
