“First They Killed My Father” by Loung Ung

Pop-tarts for breakfast, cheeseburger for lunch and chili for dinner. This is what a typical child might eat today, unless you suffer from an eating disorder…right?

Well sadly that isn’t the case. Loung Ung details the struggles of one of millions of children in Cambodia in her autobiography “First They Killed My Father.”

Ung is a voice loud enough to not only reach twelve countries and published in nine different languages, but also wake today’s youth to an important message.

This woeful story told in a 6 year old’s voice is nothing similar to what you were taught in history class.

If you are one to take action for those in need, Ung will open your eyes and broaden your passion to help others to many horizons.

Instead of checking Facebook while you have your cereal, pick up “First They Killed My Father.”

Ung’s corruption of innocence will follow you through all three meals, to help you savor every bit of the story behind one child’s struggle in Cambodia’s genocide.
