Just when things seem most bleak, Sang Ly learns a secret about the hated, ill-tempered woman, the the rent collector-she can read Reluctantly she agrees to teach Sang Ly and does so with the same harshness she applied to her collection duties until they both learn how literacy has the power to instill hope and transcend circumstance.
