Soul of a Tiger is the true story of her mom's life and her family's survival during the Killing Fields and escape from the Cambodian Genocide to the US. The book begins in the U.S. and is primarily seen through the eyes of the main character, Rachana (whose nickname is Cha-Cha).
SreyRam Kuy, MD was born in Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge Killing Fields. She and her family escaped Cambodia when she was a small child and spent several years in refugee camps before being sponsored to the United States by a Christian Missionary group.

She attended medical school at Oregon Health Science University, then finished general surgery residency in Wisconsin. She also earned her master’s degree at Yale University School of Medicine in health services research.
Dr. Kuy’s passions are health policy, physician leadership and the underserved. She believes it is vitally important as physicians to advocate for our patients, and participate in the process of health care policy to strengthen our voice in healthcare policy development so we can better care for our patients. Because of this belief in the importance of physician leadership, Dr. Kuy has been involved in her local, professional and national community. As a Kaiser Family Foundation Barbara Jordan Scholar, she worked in the Washington DC office of Senator Tom Harkin, writing speeches and policy briefs on women’s health, coverage for breast cancer screening and treatment, Reauthorization of the Older American’s Act, health care instrument safety, and coverage of experimental studies.
