When the Hmong gifted the author with the task of placing their story on record, she set about interviewing this small refugee community in Tasmania, Australias island state. The book describes, to a large extent in their own words, the exodus of the Hmong from their hill-tribe homes in northern Laos as a result of the secret war and the conflict in Vietnam. She follows them to refugee camps in Thailand and, eventually, to Australia, where they settle and make a new life. The impact of the Hmong on the local community and the phenomena of secondary migration are also examined.
