By the time Tswb was a teenager, the US had completely vacated Laos, and the country erupted into genocidal attacks on the Hmong people, who were labeled as traitors. Fearing for their lives, Tswb and her family left everything they knew behind and fled their village for the jungle.Perpetually on the run and on the brink of starvation, Tswb eventually crossed paths with the man who would become her future husband.
