Book Description

PeggySu Lee, a young Chinese-Hawaiian girl stands on a corner with her mother holding her hand. They are waiting for the traffic light to change. She can see her uncle, Michael Mao KanSu standing across the street in his JAG uniform. Suddenly there is a resounding bang and her uncle collapses to the ground. A second later there is a very loud explosion. Through the smoke the young girl thinks she can see her daddy. His face covered in camouflage paint, and then it is gone. She finds that she is alone ... and running ... her skin burning from the napalm. This is always when she wakes up. PeggySu knows this is not a true memory. She does not know where this comes from. Her mother was killed in a car accident in Hong Kong when she was only ten. Her subconscious somehow combined her mother’s death with the incident she saw on television of the young Vietnamese girl her age burning from the napalm. She has always had this same recurring nightmare, every since her mother’s death. It is as if her unconscious brain is trying to tell her something. If only she could understand. It isn’t until Mr. KanSu’s death that PeggySu learns the truth that her mother had been killed in a car bomb that day in Hong Kong. Her father didn’t want her to be frightened, so he told her that her mother had a car accident, Commander Lee had lots of secrets; some were national security, some to allow loved ones to sleep at night.
