Fulfilling My Father's Dream

Siv Ashley is a Cambodian refugee who escaped to Thailand after four years in a Khmer Rouge children's work camp. There she reunited with her aunt and uncle's family. They were brought to Jefferson, North Carolina, as a mission-sponsored family.

Siv has fulfilled her father's dream: she received an education in America, graduating from both high school and community college.

She has persevered through raising children, caring for her physically-failing father-in-law, and struggling with PTSD. Her children have both graduated from college, furthering her father's dream.

Her faith in God has seen Siv through good times and bad.

You won't want to stop reading Siv's account of her life in America. Hers is a refugee's American success story.
