Starving and fleeing the fighting of the Korean War, eleven-year-old June Han loses her younger twin siblings. Hector Brennan, an American GI, brings her to an orphanage near Seoul, where Sylvie Tanner, the minister's wife, helps her slowly recover. Sylvie has wounds of her own: as a girl in Manchuria in 1934 she saw her parents killed by Japanese soldiers. June and Hector compete for her attention, and the bond among the three turns destructive across the decades that follow.
