She demystifies the conflicts that many Thai-Western couples face after moving to the US. Find out what happens when individuals who don’t speak the language end up in criminal, civil and family courts. But this story is also a personal one, relating the author’s journey from humble beginnings in rural Thailand to become a professional interpreter in the San Francisco Bay area.
