Losing the Way, Le Ly Hayslip, "When Heaven And Earth Changed Places"- TURNING POINT

Le Ly went to be a maid/house keeper for a well to do family. Le Ly and the father of the family, Anh, falls in love while she is the maid. Le Ly writes about what her mother thinks about mistress and how she dosen't understand what to do, "She couldn't see how it broke my heart to be caught in this dilemma-to accept Anh's love, wrong another woman, and endanger his fine family; or reject him and not only risk our own position but lose this small bit of happiness I had finally found in life. What was I to do?"(129). This chapter is one of the TURNING POINTS in Le Ly's life. She does accept Anh and later on has Anh's child. This situation happens in today's world too. The action is bad because it is a sin to commit adultery, but does not mean it does not happen still. People are often put in sticky situations because they do not know what to do with her life. Le Ly actions are not the first in the world and most likely the last too.
