description: Each year, thousands of Vietnamese girls are sold into slave labor, only to become 'Srey Kouc' prostitutes. The Meebon, brothel owners, controls their fate. The power brokers of Hanoi, Vietnam demand more babies for adoption to the foreigners. Many unwanted children become institutionalized, unloved and neglected victims of the system. Author Leonie J. Campbell brings these disturbing facts into vivid focus, guiding her readers into the Vietnamese plight and offering hope through the caring concern of a select group of individuals. This compelling novel may shock some readers with its accounts of injustice and its political ineptness to improve the conditions of its people.
