From a child runaway, to a top earner in Thailand's prolific sex industry, comes the true story of a little girl from an impoverished land where girls aren't valuable enough to educate, yet are expected to become the primary income earners of their families. By the time Lon was 18, she had been responsible for the sole support of her family for five years. After suffering a childhood filled with beatings, blamed for her father's death, and denied further education at the age of 12, she ran away and soon sold the only item of value she possessed: her body.
