In mid-life, a year and a half after their son was killed in a senseless car accident, Brenda and her husband, David, considered becoming foster parents for the first time.
Boran Sovan, age sixteen, and his younger sister, Sophea, age twelve, set foot in Boston September 16, 1983. Both had escaped the insane killing and holocaust of Pol PotÕs reign in Cambodia, arriving with other refugees at Logan Airport straight from refugee camps
in Thailand.
When Brenda and her husband met their new family members, their worlds collided, breaking apart and fusing together in new ways, tainted by incredibly sad and horrifying memories.
