Plot summary

In a mountain village in Nepal, thirteen-year-old Lakshmi lives with her mother and her disabled father, who has no work. She wants to earn money and put a tin roof on the house, while her mother wants her to stay in school. When heavy rain swamps the rice fields and damages the rest of the crops, the family has no income left. At a festival in her village, a woman from abroad named Bimla talks about the city and offers Lakshmi work as a maid in India. Her mother refuses the offer, but her father has already accepted money from Bimla. Lakshmi crosses the border and arrives at a building called Happiness House.
