Korea， 1941， for Sei-Young Shin， a young man born into a poor family in the rural south， it is a time of oppression. The Japanese have issued strict provisions against the Korean language， religion， and food， and Sei-Young is learning important lessons about humiliation and defiance. For Heisook Pang， the daughter of a prominent minister in northern Korea， life is easier. But the onset of World War II changes everything， as Heisooks privilages are suddenly stripped away， and she is forced to make a daring escape， slipping across the border into the South， where her destiny crossed that of Sei-Young in an encounter that changes both their lives forever.
