Reviews
"That one person could go from a little boy too afraid to show fear to a man who protects presidents is an incredible journey by anyone's standards" . . . A "remarkable life." -- Philadelphia Inquirer, "Through smooth and unflinching prose, A Refugee's American Dream reveals a remarkable story of human loss, endurance, and resilience." -- Sara Novic , bestselling author of America Is Immigrants , Girl at War , and True Biz, "A harrowing yet inspiring and upbeat survival story . . . A truly heartening story of sheer determination and the will to survive and thrive." -- Kirkus Reviews, "Leth Oun is our Superman. He has overcome the kryptonite of a genocide and rose as a superhero for Cambodians everywhere." -- Kosol Sek , Managing Director, National Khmer Legacy Museum, "Leth Oun's dramatic past is similar to mine and millions of other Cambodians who went through that dark period in the seventies. Today, we might be happy, but deep down in our hearts, the wound of that dark age remains. I highly admire Leth who has not only achieved his American dream, but also his effort to put the pieces of his traumatic experiences together in this beautiful book." -- His Excellency Chhea Keo , Cambodian Ambassador to the United States, "Leth Oun's moving story is deeply inspiring. He went to hell and back, and now embodies the American Dream." -- Maria Goodavage , author of New York Times bestseller Secret Service Dogs: The Heroes Who Protect the President of the United States

Synopsis
The remarkable story of Leth Oun, who went from the Killing Fields of Cambodia to refugee camps before becoming an officer in the United States Secret Service, "I saw many killed. I almost starved. But I escaped to refugee camps in Thailand and eventually made it to the U.S." Thus begins Leth Oun's poignant and vivid memoir. A survivor of the Cambodian Killing Fields-having spent a torturous three years, eight months, and ten days imprisoned by the Khmer Rouge-Oun thrived in America, learning English, becoming a citizen, and working as an officer in the United States Secret Service Uniformed Division. In A Refugee's American Dream, Oun shares hard memories of Cambodia, where his father was executed, and his family enslaved in labor camps. Following the fall of the Khmer Rouge, Oun survived a year of homelessness then nearly four years in refugee camps. Arriving in America, 17 and penniless, Oun struggled, washing dishes at a Chinese restaurant for $3.15 an hour. Still, he persevered, graduating from Widener University and completing thousands of hours of training to pursue a career in the Secret Service. While on President Obama's protection team, he returns to Cambodia after 32 years, reunites with family, and bonds with Reik, the Secret Service dog he handles. Through his most difficult moments, Oun displays truly inspiring resilience that ultimately leads to great achievements. The authors' proceeds will go to help Cambodians in need
