Lisa Hamilton's book "The Hungry Season: A Journey of War, Love and Survival" recounts the story of a Hmong immigrant, Ia Moua. After experiencing political violence in Laos and then 15 years in a refugee camp in Thailand, Ia Moua is resettled in California in the early 1990s with her eight children. Author Lisa Hamilton realized that the subject of her book would never able to read it, so she set about producing a Hmong audio book. Marco Werman speaks with author Lisa Hamilton and Hmong translator Bee Vang-Moua about the process of making the book available to their most important audience.
