The Spirit Catches You And You Fall Down
A Hmong Child
Her American Doctors
And The Collision Of Two Cultures
by Anne Fadiman
This book is the first book in many , many years that has moved me so much and caused me to view everything differently. I challenge everyone to read this and see if you notice a shift in your empathies and opinions regarding others.
The story is very compelling (and true), but if it weren't for the spectacular writing of Ms. Fadiman, I don't think the resulting changes in my thought processes would have been so dramatic. Possibly the best book I've ever read.
