Brilliant, brilliantly written. At times infuriating, always fascinating, a page-turner.

Like the author, I felt myself wanting to get mad first at one side, then at the other: the Hmong parents who couldn't or wouldn't (and anyway didn't!) give their daughter the US doctors-prescribed meds, the arrogant US doctors with their inability to think outside the box. Oh man.

Very recommended.
