Featured content also includes commentary on major characters, 25 important quotes, essay questions, and discussion topics.

In her memoir, The Latehomecomer, Yang remembers her time in Thailand’s Ban Vinai Refugee camp and explores what it means to be Hmong. While Yang chronicles her family’s journey from place to place, she intertwines these stories with Hmong myths, which are often dark tales of loss. The myths serve as metaphors for the Hmong experience and strengthen Yang’s identity as a Hmong woman living in America.

SuperSummary study guides demonstrate an authoritative voice, present expert analysis, offer big picture ideas, and help listeners understand a work’s underlying meanings and conclusions.
