Saoran and Vantha were the loving parents of five children in 1975, until the Khmer Rouge ravaged their country. Before the holocaust was over an estimated two million people died in forced labor camps and mass executions. Vantha ́s Whisper weaves together Buddhist Wisdom and the undying love of Vantha’s spirit, which aided Saoran through her great escape. Despite disaster, Saoran found the courage to face her past, and with the assistance of Author Vivian Kirkbride, her story is told in this gripping page-turner.
