During the Korean War, a young American officer is overwhelmed and captured, while a young female Chinese doctor struggles to heal the wounded in the Chinese Communist army. These two have several brief encounters with each other and eventually develop a love that is stronger than all the horrors that war can throw at them... believable and compelling...poignant, and her love with Wesley sensitive and beautiful... The story came to a satisfying (although emotional) conclusion and left me feeling thoughtful and more compassionate about those who endure the devastation of war.

Adversaries in the Korean War find love in Aerie's debut novel. The story starts in the middle of a firefight... Out of the rubble, two characters emerge: an American officer, Wesley Palm, and a Chinese military doctor, Jasmine Young. Their paths cross again and again.... Aerie keeps readers on their toes with the twists and balances her relatively weak portrayal of Communist hacks with fleeting but intense moments of camaraderie between grunts.... An often engaging tale of a flickering moment of love during a forgotten war.
