On April 17, 1975 Sam Sotha and his wife Sony, along with thousands of others, were forced by the Khmer Rouge to leave Phnom Penh. Shot, tortured, starved and enslaved in hard labor was the fate of many Cambodians during the Khmer Rouge years.

In In The Shade of A Quiet Killing Place, Sam Sotha tells a moving personal story of love and a couple’s struggle for survival during the four years of their captivity by the Khmer Rouge. In the context of intense brutality and human tragedy, Sam Sotha’s memoir gives an inspiring portrait of love between husband and wife that refused to yield under such terror. The strength of their love guided the couple
through the darkest moments, when it seemed only a miracle could save them from certain death.

The memoir is based on a hand-written diary and drawings recorded while the couple waited for resettlement in the United States in a refugee camp in Thailand. The book contains over fifty unique Khmer-style drawings capturing the time and place, the emotions, danger and turmoil in the couple’s experiences during the Pol Pot rule.
