Contents/Summary
- Summary
- In the deep jungles of Cambodia, Sav Samourn and her family depend on the forests for their food and livelihood. But with the encroachment of large companies and the slashing and clearing of forests, Sav Samourn soon discovers there is no room for wild animals and ghosts in the forests she calls home. In a fishing village on the Tonle SapRiver, Sari Math is forced to quit school to help support his family. But as the fish catch steadily dwindles, Sari and his family realize their lives as fishermen are changing forever. In a small village outside of Phnom Penh, Khieu Mok must leave and find work in a garment factory to support her family’s mounting debt. But life in the city proves to be no better, and Khieu finds herself torn between her obligations to send money home and her duty to be at home with her family. From a remote northern jungle, down along the Tonle Sap, to the rice fields in the country’s center and the pulsing heart of urban Phnom Penh, the radical changes taking place in Cambodia today are transforming not only the country’s landscape, but also the dreams of its people.
