(3) I'm captivated already

(3-5) wonderful, well-researched account of Hmong cultural beliefs about birthing

(19) Fadiman has provided much detail as to the Hmong traditions at childbirth - and how a few Hmong adapted in America [for example, she says Foua ate a post-partum soup "with five special post-partum herbs (which the Lees had grown for this purpose on the edge of the parking lot behind their apartment building)."]
