The Hmong, traditionally a close-knit and fiercely independent people, have been less amenable to assimilation than most immigrants, adhering steadfastly to the rituals and beliefs of their ancestors. Lia's pediatricians, Neil Ernst and his wife, Peggy Philip, cleaved just as strongly to another tradition: that of Western medicine. When Lia Lee entered the American medical system, diagnosed as an epileptic, her story became a tragic case history of cultural miscommunication.Hide synopsis

I read this for my anthropology class, and as a Pre-Med, this book was beyond beneficial---it really opened my eyes and mind to a perspective I never considered.

This book was required reading for a linguistic anthropology course, but I wound up thoroughly enjoying it. The book draws you in without you realizing it.
