ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
Anne Fadiman's The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down recounts the compelling story of a Hmong refugee family in Merced, California, and their experiences navigating the American medical system while caring for their daughter with a severe illness. The narrative vividly portrays the deep cultural chasm that exists between the family's traditional beliefs about health and healing and the perspectives of the Western doctors treating their child. It explores the intricate dynamics and tragic misunderstandings that arise from these divergent worldviews as both sides strive to do what they believe is best for the young girl. The book delves into themes of cultural collision, the complexities of medical care across cultures, and the enduring power of familial love in the face of adversity.
