Cries of Hunger |
Teresa Ke |
Mum was terrified, my brother and uncle was about to be executed and there was nothing she could do. Her heart was pounding so hard, feeling so helpless. She along with the other families was pleading for their release but it fell on deaf ears. All she could do was cry and pray.
Teresa’s gripping true story begins at the time of unrest during the Cambodian war with the Khmer Rouge takeover. We are taken back to her family’s haunting past that no child should have to endure and yet she lives to hear the story her mother so vividly recounts. She finds solace in knowing that life is full of possibility amongst the struggles, that you can find strength in times of doubt, and laughter when the heart needs it the most.
