About the Author: Loung Ung

Loung Ung is the author of the memoir I read called: First They Killed My Father.

Although the memoir described part of her childhood, it made me curious about what happened to Loung after the book ended. The epilogue provided a brief overview of what her life was like, but I wanted to know more.

So, thanks to Google, here's what I found:

- She currently lives in Shaker Heights, Ohio {located in Cleveland!}

- Loung married Mark Priemer in 2002.

- Ung has written a total of three books:

• First They Killed My Father
• Lucky Child
• Lulu In The Sky

- Loung is a human-rights activist and lecturer. She is the national spokesperson for the Campaign for a Landmine-Free World.

Alright, that wraps up my findings of Loung Ung. I highly suggest everyone to read one of her books. I feel as if not a lot of people are aware of what the Khmer Rouge/Pol Pot regime was. Reading Loung's experiences about this will not only educate you on what the Pol Pot regime was, you can also see on how it effected others, and what people went through- based on Loung's perspective. 

Here is a Youtube video of Loung Ung. It talks about Loung, and she also shares her experiences.
Loung also has a Youtube channel, here's a link to it:
