Abstract
This book explores the clash between a small county hospital in California and a refugee family from Laos over
the care of Lia Lee, a Hmong child diagnosed with severe epilepsy. Lia's parents and her doctors both wanted what
was best for Lia, but the lack of understanding between them led to tragedy. The book explores issues of culture,
immigration, medicine, and the war in Laos with such skill that it's nearly impossible to put down.
