Book description, courtesy of Tate Publishing: 

How SamSan and his fellow refugees came to live in the small town of Winder, Georgia, is an intriguing story in itself. Nothing that compared to that group's coming to the area had ever happened in our small town.

When C B Skelton volunteered his church to sponsor a refugee family from Cambodia, he was hoping to have the opportunity to change lives. What he didn't know was that it was his own life that would be changed forever. A Simple Seller of Noodles unveils the gripping story of SamSan�an illegitimate Vietnamese peasant who rose from near-infanticide in a garbage can to become a highly sought-after interpreter for the Cambodian military. This is the account of his fall from favor and ensuing imprisonment, his dramatic rescue by the Khmer Rouge only to be caught up in Pol Pot's death march, his family fracture and sadistic serfdom under Khmer Rouge rule, and his impossible journey to freedom in Thailand and the United States.

Over a period of twenty-five years, C.B. Skelton collected first-hand accounts from SamSan that he has compiled into this amazing true story. SamSan's frantic search for his lost son and his recognition of God's hand in his many escapes from death will forever change how you view the world and those around you.
