Translation Neither the authorities nor the villagers are completely certain where the woman is from. A number of people hypothesize that she isn’t Cambodian because she cannot speak any local languages. Others speculate that she is simply a young woman with mental troubles who became lost in the jungle. Both Sal Lou and his wife feel that the woman is their long-lost daughter, Rochom. Through all the speculation, there is one certainty—the woman is a unique addition to the village.

Sal Lou and his wife, who live in Cambodia, lost their eight-year-old daughter in the late 1980s. The girl, called Rochom, was watching over the buffalo in the jungles. She and other villagers did this every day; but on that day, Rochom didn’t return home. Sal Lou figured that either an animal or an accident had killed his daughter. Both he and his wife resigned themselves to a life without Rochom.
