‘I Was Pronounced Dead’ by Toom Chanda is a powerful memoir of endurance, faith, and love. From the war-ravaged villages of Laos to the hope and uncertainty of starting anew in America, Toom’s story traces a remarkable journey through loss, survival, and transformation. Her narrative begins in childhood when war tears her homeland apart, forcing her family to flee in search of safety. Through years of displacement and hardship, she witnesses both the cruelty and courage that define human nature. Haunted by the death of her firstborn daughter and sustained by her Buddhist faith, Toom learns to rebuild her life while holding onto the memories of those she has lost. Her reflections on identity and belonging offer an honest portrait of what it means to start over in a foreign land while remaining connected to one’s roots. This memoir captures the unbreakable strength of family and the quiet resilience that arises from suffering. Told with clarity and compassion, it invites readers to consider their own capacity for forgiveness and renewal. ‘I Was Pronounced Dead’ is not only a story of survival but also a celebration of the human spirit’s ability to heal, hope, and love again, regardless of how deep the wounds or how distant the journey is.
