"In THE HUNGRY SEASON, award-winning journalist Lisa M. Hamilton tells the unforgettable story of a life lost and regained through grit and resilience, and against incredible odds. Stretching from the jungles of Laos to the treacherous waters of the Mekong River to a refugee camp in Thailand and the sprawl of California's Central Valley, it is an expansive tale of survival and determination: about the ways in which we overcome trauma and heartbreak, and about the nourishment that matters most. It is one Hmong woman's stunning tale of survival: the female protagonist is a refugee, mother, and farmer, but most of all she is an unforgettable character. You will fall in love with her larger-than-life personality, and cheer her on as she overcomes seemingly impossible odds to build a new life for herself and her family in the United States"--
