It's so terribly written - I lost track several times and had to keep flicking back and forth to make sure I was reading it right.

She starts of talking about her half-brother and then "her brother is sick" - I thought she meant the half-brother (as he was the only one introduced till that point), but, no. She talks about "his first family" when she really means his "other" family (she never says which family came first, so you have to assume until you're proven right or wrong). As to the geography - I have no clue. She throws places like "India," "Hanoi," "Thailand," "Seattle," "USA" without any proper sequence of events.

Clearly written by someone in a rage, no doubt.
