Chance at a better life.

After 6 months of being at a work camp. The Vietnamese bomb Cambodia. Loung is able to escape. She goes to a Youn refugee camp and there she finds her sister Chou, and brother Kim, they do not bother trying to find Geek and their mother, they all know they are dead, even though they do not speak of it. After 3 days of being at the camp they find a family willing to take them in and foster them, but they were actually just free labor to the family that took them in, they could tell because they had to work harder then the families real kids and they were also fed less, though they couldn't complain because it was the most they had in a long time. After a while of being with the foster family their foster dad says that he can no longer afford to keep them and they are sent to a different foster family. Once again they were just free workers for the family. Eventually their older brothers Meng and Khouy find them, they go with them and they say that they are going to save money and go to Vietnam they said that there they would have a better life. Once they get to Vietnam Meng decides he wants to go to America and get a job to send money back to the family so they could also come to America. They decide that he should take Loung with him because she is still young enough she can go to school and learn english. To get to America they first have to go to Thailand, illegally. Will they get there?
