Life has many ways of testing someone’s sanity with either nothing happening at all or everything happening at once. Every test in life can leave you either feeling bitter or better. As a child, El lived in different foster homes, trying to survive mental and physical abuse. It almost took her life while she fought to live, and as always, someone was there to save her. By the age of thirteen, she was adopted, and that’s when she met her best friend, Yara. Being the black sheep of her family, Yara decided that she wanted more in her life instead of constantly disappointing her parents. Traveling was what El and Yara did to clear their mind from the world. During one of their trips, they stumbled upon men that would change their lives forever. With Seven being kicked out at the age of seventeen by his father, he fought to survive in the streets. The streets are grimy to those who weren’t raised in them, and Seven was learning that the hard way until he met his right-hand man, Tone.

Several years later, after they rose to the top of the game, Seven and Tone received devastating news that rocked both of their business and personal life to the core. Someone was threatening their empire and caused them to escape the madness on an island, right into the arms of Yara and El.

From the author of The Latehomecomer, a powerful memoir of her father, a Hmong song poet who sacrificed his gift for his children's future in America In the Hmong tradition, the song poet recounts the story of his people, their history and tragedies, joys and losses; extemporizing or drawing on folk tales, he keeps the past alive, invokes the spirits and the homeland, and records courtships, births, weddings, and wishes. Following her award-winning book The Latehomecomer, Kao Kalia Yang now retells the life of her father Bee Yang, the song poet, a Hmong refugee in Minnesota, driven from the mountains of Laos by American's Secret War. Bee lost his father as a young boy and keenly felt his orphanhood. He would wander from one neighbor to the next, collecting the things they said to each other, whispering the words to himself at night until, one day, a song was born. Bee sings the life of his people through the war-torn jungle and a Thai refugee camp. But the songs fall away in the cold, bitter world of a Minneapolis housing project and on the factory floor until, with the death of Bee's mother, the songs leave him for good. But before they do, Bee, with his poetry, has polished a life of poverty for his children, burnished their grim reality so that they might shine. Written with the exquisite beauty for which Kao Kalia Yang is renowned, The Song Poet is a love story -- of a daughter for her father, a father for his children, a people for their land, their traditions, and all that they have lost.
