Only thirteen when first we meet her, Jang overcomes not only the rites of war, but also the rites of her own life's journeying. At length capturing a world in foment through the lens of her camera, creating pertinent meaning for those who love her (and also, those who will never meet her--) Jang's life ultimately transcends all of that tragic human wreckage threatening to engulf everyone she has come to love, even unto seemingly hopeless ends. An unforgettable read.
