When the Lanterns Remember
A Novel of Language, Memory, and One Last SummerBy Nalee Vang
Length5h 29m
About this audiobook
All her life, the words her grandmother spoke felt like a door she could never quite open — a language of lanterns and lullabies she was always meant to inherit but never learned. The summer everything changes, she's sent to Hmong language camp, where a best friend's betrayal and a heart on the line force her to choose between the girl she's pretended to be and the one her grandmother always knew she was. A luminous coming-of-age novel about language, memory, belonging, and the love that remembers us even when the words are gone — for readers who carry their family's stories in a tongue they're still learning to speak.
