Content: This is the real-life adventure story of a young American woman whom spent seven months traveling from the Mekong Delta to the border of China in search of the 'real' Vietnam - the villages and the people untouched by the commercial influences of the encroaching West. While enduring numerous arrests and physical discomforts, she learned to drive a passenger train, planted rice with farmers, saved several leopard kittens from the thriving black market, discovered a mysterious baguette factory in the jungle, and found herself an honored guest of many hill tribe communities.
