Nakri tries to get along quietly, even when her father is taken away to a ""re-education camp"" from which he never returns. When Nakri and her older brother and sister are taken away to a work camp as well, the family is broken apart, and only some of the pieces will ever be reunited. Nakri and her brother survive nearly four years of hard work and scarce food before freedom returns to Cambodia. But then there is no food, no money, and no work. The only alternative to staying and starving is to cross the border into Thailand, and hope for some help there. But the path across the border is covered in land mines..."
