When immigrating to a foreign country, many sacrifices are made, including having to leave relatives, friends, acquaintances -but most of all- your country behind. The Latehomecomer –a memoir by Kao Kalia Yang- discusses how her family and Yang were forced to leave their home country due to persecution, causing them to immigrate to the United States in hopes of escaping their cruel fate. This sudden turn of events affected her grandmother the most because it was partly caused her to become homeless, as shown through lines 353-356 on page 64 where her situation is then described when the author remarks “Because at one home, her heart yearned for another, and all their homes together could never be like the country of her home in Laos.”
