Overview

When fifty-year-old Kravann Sovan wakes up one morning, he's no longer in his San Jose condo. He's in Bakersfield, 1985-in his father's body. Kravann has spent decades resenting his father's silence, his emotional distance, his absence even when he was in the room. But now he must live Boonsong's impossible life: every choice between food and rent, working the lettuce fields for minimum wage, raising five children in a cramped apartment, and carrying the weight of surviving the Khmer Rouge genocide. Every moment of bone-deep exhaustion teaches Kravann what his father could never say: that love sometimes looks like sacrifice, that survival requires everything you have, and that presence is the greatest gift of all. A deeply moving story of the Khmer refugee experience, intergenerational trauma, and the journey from resentment to forgiveness, What My Khmer Father Couldn't Say explores what it truly means to understand someone-not by asking, but by becoming. Perfect for readers who loved Pachinko, The Sympathizer, and Everything I Never Told You.
