Place: 15 Boraten Circle, Linfield, Pa 19468
Get ready for an amazing, thrilling, sad, and heart-breaking tale of endurance and triumph set during one of the darkest periods in human history. Author Daravann Yi reflects on Salt Seeker, his first-hand account of life in Cambodia under the cruel, genocidal Khmer Rouge regime that lasted from April 17th, 1975 to January 7th, 1979. You will be both intrigued and horrified by his graphic account of one of the worst mass killing of the twentieth century, and inspired by Daravann’s daring escape to freedom. Even after 38 years, this inspiring tale of survival continues to resonate in a world filled with war, suffering, and displacement.
"The gripping tale of the triumph of a young boy forced to deal with the realities of war, displacement, rampant murder, and survival."
Robert Woish, Certified Professional Resume Writer

Area resident Daravann Yi has written a captivating memoir entitled Salt Seeker. It is a vivid and poignant personal account of his survival of the Cambodian genocide under dictator Pol Pot. Salt Seeker is an extraordinary story about a courageous young boy who journeyed through hell on earth and back from April 17, 1975, to January 7, 1979.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the book will support the Salt Seeker Foundation, Inc.
