We will now be traveling to Cambodia to discuss the book "The Rent Collector" by Camron Wright.
Here's a Book Summary:
Survival
for Ki Lim and Sang Ly is a daily battle at Stung Meanchey, the largest
municipal waste dump in all of Cambodia. They make their living
scavenging recyclables from the trash. Life would be hard enough without
the worry for their chronically ill child, Nisay, and the added expense
of medicines that are not working. Just when things seem worst, Sang Ly
learns a secret about the bad-tempered rent collector who comes
demanding money - a secret that sets in motion a tide that will change
the life of everyone it sweeps past. The Rent Collector is a story of
hope, of one woman's journey to save her son and another woman's chance
at redemption.
