Gao Mee Vang has known enough pain and suffering to last multiple lifetimes. Following the Secret War, she is uprooted from her village and hunted by communist Lao soldiers. Determined to write her own destiny, Gao Mee escapes into the jungles to find freedom and safety with her beloved Hue. When she is confronted at the edge of the Mekong River, Gao Mee’s world comes crashing down, and the only thing that gives her solace is the tranquil drone of the QEEJ as she carves out a new life.
