Kao Kalia Yang is a young, Hmong woman writer who is inspired to write books about her life and the Hmong culture. She has written two books about the Hmong culture and her life. One of the books is called The Latecomhomer. She has been through so much that she wanted to express her feelings and let everyone who read her book of what happened. What she went through was many deaths of her relatives and how hard it was just to get to the United States; all the crossing over the Lao property to the Thai’s property and crossing the Mekong River. It was hard to cross the Mekong River because the water was up to the people’s heads and the current was very strong.

The book is a good way for other people to know what a Hmong person went through as the Hmong people tried to migrate over to the United States. Kao Kalia is now living in the United States and is still continuing to write more books.
