Le explains to Lindy how she came to be adopted – he was captured by Viet Cong, their village was bombed and her mother was trying to walk to Saigon with all the children and no food. She gave baby Mai to the American soldiers. Le meets the rest of Lindy’s Australian family and he tells her about her Vietnamese uncle and cousins living in Cabramatta. Le explains that he wishes to see his daughter, she is part of his family. The terrified Marg responds – ‘We think of her as our daughter.’
