The Mother Light is the harrowing but ultimately uplifting tale of a young woman who survived enslavement by the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia in the late 1970s.

The Cambodian Holocaust was one of the most horrific chapters in the history of humankind. The Mother Light is the true story of a young woman who was a slave under the ruthless Pol Pot Regime for all four years of the genocide and survived. Her immeasurable suffering—displacement, starvation, disease, forced manual labor, and the agony of family members being raped, tortured, and executed—was rivaled only by her wits and her undying desire to see her mother again. Only after a daring sixty-mile escape on foot to Thailand did she finally find her way to safety—and, eventually, to a new life in the United States.

Told in stunning detail, The Mother Light is a story of hope in the face of unimaginable cruelty—one that brings the worst and best of humanity into the light.
