This story begins in 1951 with a sixteen-year-old girl called Haemi living with her mother and sickly younger brother as refugees in Busan, Korea. She tries to forget the woes of her war-torn country by sneaking around with a boy from her home village, but her mother has plans for her to marry another young man who can save the family from starvation and ruin.
This was a really good book with a lot of insight into Korea before, after, and during the war.
