Lek begins to wonder whether everything that she had hoped for for fifteen years was all worth it now that she had achieved her goals.Lek was born the eldest child of four in a typical rice farming family. She did not expect to do anything any different from the other girls in her class in the northern rice belt of Thailand.Typically that would be: work in the fields for a few years; have a few babies; give them to mum to take care of and get back to work until her kids had their own children and it would be her turn to stop working to take care of them.One day a catastrophe occurred out of the blue – her father died young and with huge debts that the family knew nothing about.
