Riassunto

Only 13 is the story of a little girl, who while always being the black sheep of the family, never lost her love for her sisters. The relentless attacks by all of her elder family members other than her father, finally forced her to run away. Upon returning from her third escape, she learned that her father--the only one who loved her, had died while looking for her. She was then ordered away from the family's little hut, so she ran off to Bangkok and quickly became involved in the sex-tourism industry. She did anything imaginable in order to make up to her family for her father's death and to make sure that her sisters had enough money for school so that they would never have to do what she did. After a few years in Bangkok, she then worked her way to Pattaya Beach, where she was a star gogo dancer and appeared in Asian girlie magazines and sex-tourism videos. Shortly thereafter, through boyfriends and marriage, she made her way to Switzerland, Germany, Sweden and now lives in England.
