*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Born into a wealthy military family, author Julie Lee enjoyed a privileged childhood in stark contrast to the abject poverty that most Cambodians experienced. In April 1975, however, it all changed when communist Khmer Rouge forces headed by the ruthless Pol Pot capture the capital city of Phnom Penh. After her mother and father are sent to separate labor camps and Pol Pot unleashes a genocide upon the Cambodian people, Julie is forced to flee with her Grandparents, but between them and the safety of Thailand are hundreds of miles of dangerous jungle and the guns of the Khmer Rouge. As they flee, Julie and her Grandparents are captured and thrown with other refugees into a labor camp where, at the age of six she witnesses man's inhumanity to his fellow man. With her co-author Keith Vickers, Julie relates the true story of her survival which she attributes to countless miracles and the guidance of an angelic White Horse.
