8000 miles away, Brenda loves Minh Anh like a son, and every year for the last 15 years she has travelled to Vietnam to see him. Their lives are worlds apart but their extraordinary friendship gets stronger every year. For Minh Anh, there is someone to look out for his interests; for Brenda, a chance to relive memories of her first visit to the country with her late husband who died tragically young.

Now Minh Anh has turned eighteen and it's decision time for his doctors. Brenda wants to be sure that her friend has a secure future, but does she need him more than he needs her?
