More About Beyond a Thousand Shadows

High school sweethearts Vudh and Nary were just beginning a beautiful life together in Cambodia’s capital city of Phnom Penh. Vudh’s sister Chantana was an intelligent young woman trying to find her place in the world after a painful divorce. And Sovath was their little brother, a gentle child who loved to hear his parents recite a Buddhist proverb about a coming “God of Love.”

When the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime shatters the Sim family’s idyllic life, they face indoctrination, starvation, and unspeakable loss. Separated and alone, the siblings cry out to Preah Ung, the Highest God. And He answers in miraculous ways.

But when survival forces them into hiding as undocumented refugees on the border of Thailand, the siblings face a difficult decision: Will they dare to follow the God who saved them before they knew His name?

Beyond a Thousand Shadows is a true story of suffering and loss, love and redemption. Written in an immersive, novel-like style, rich with cultural and historical detail, it offers no easy answers to the problem of suffering. Instead, it testifies to the enduring power of the love of a family and the grace of the God of Love.

  • What a compelling story! I could hardly put it down. This put flesh and blood on a story we heard on the news and saw in the movie “The Killing Fields.” A very good read.
