Mary lives with her mother, two sisters, and two brothers in a zinc house in Bo that floods every year because it's built near a swamp. Her father died many years ago when she was a very little girl. Her mother sells vegetables at the community market in Bo to provide for Mary and her siblings.

Mary dreams of becoming a nurse to help the sick people of her community.
