Summary:

"When the Japanese occupation of Manchuria collapses at the end of WWII, the elders of the Japanese settler villages decide to preserve their honour by killing everyone in the village. Only 16-year-old Duo He overhears the elders’ plan and flees. But Duo He ends up in the hands of human traffickers, and she is sold to a Chinese family as the second wife to the son, Zhang Jian. Duo He becomes close to Zhang's first wife, and amid all the strife and suffering, this unlikely friendship shows how humanity and kindness can endure."--Amazon.ca.
