Mya is caught up in Yangonâs Saffron Revolution and flees to Karen State, near the Thai border, where she believes her mother has taken refuge. Military Intelligence agents, human traffickers, landmines and venomous snakes are among the dangers Mya faces in her journey. To survive, she takes on many roles â bar-girl, novice nun, military porter, translator, teacher â some by choice, others forced on her. While playing Lady Gaga in a Thai nightclub, an accident involving some Australians brings Mya the opportunity sheâs been waiting for.
