My Burma-Thai Border stories--Dancing like a Peacock and Koel Bird.

 https://www.amazon.com/Dancing-Like-Peacock-Koel-Bird/dp/1497514851

A seven year old child is sent off by her mother with a strange man, because she cannot feed her any more, to make a living in Thailand and send money home to Burma. A U.S. based computer security expert goes to give classes in Chiangmai, Northern Thailand and gets the surprise of his life.

Based on real life stories narrated to me by social workers and others--fictionalized of course.
