Judith Buckley asked Camron Wright:

I absolutely loved this book. Your description of literature and how it affects life was amazing. I wish you would have updated the reader on Sang Ly's son and did his grandfather cure him? I assumed that living in the dump made him sick. I will look forward to your next book.

Camron Wright I do mention in the book’s epilogue that he completely recovered, “a miracle that she [Sang Ly] attributes to the Cambodian healer…” We don’t know what ailment the child had or what substance the healer used, but when I returned three years later with my son, we found the boy to be very healthy. As for another book, if you loved The Rent Collector, I would suggest you pick up my book The Orphan Keeper. It’s similar in genre and style—an amazing story about the journey of a young boy who was kidnapped in India. It’s 95% true and rather unbelievable—but it happened. Thanks again for your support. Camron.
