Grace had found a therapist for Suda who spoke both Thai and English and smuggled her—hat on head, large, dark sunglasses on her face—twice a week to an office on the other side of San Francisco. It was part of the program, she had Nittha explain. All the young women at Hope House did therapy. Nittha had started by explaining what a therapist was, but Suda still found the concept odd. She was supposed to tell someone she didn’t know about her feelings of humiliation and describe the pain she had gone through. Why would she do that?

Her therapist told her that she would need to deal with the losses she’d encountered in life in order to heal, but for now, Suda preferred to simply live in the present. She did like the car ride both ways, though. It was interesting to see a little bit of the city where she had landed. The buildings were so tall, and people of all different colors walked the sidewalks. She could see businesses and trees. The buildings looked different from the buildings in Chiang Rai. They were taller, bigger, imposing.

Suda’s therapist told her that a transition from fear, real fear as she had experienced, took a long time. The woman added that it made sense that it would take time for Suda to trust her, so, for now, they would just spend time together. That seemed odd to Suda. Drive to see a stranger and spend time together to build trust so that someday, if she wanted to, she could talk to her? Americans were confusing sometimes, but she did like them.
