Description

Daughters of the Dragon: A Comfort Woman's Story by William Andrews When Anna Carlson travels to Korea in search of her birth mother, she is met with devastating news: her mother is already dead. However, a stranger's gift of an antique comb sets her on a new path, leading her to the story of Hong Jae-hee, a woman who was one of the thousands of Korean women forced into service as "comfort women" during World War II. The comb, with its two-headed ivory dragon, has survived through generations of Jae-hee's family, and as Anna learns more about its origins, she uncovers a legacy of resilience and courage, love and redemption. This revised edition of Daughters of the Dragon includes editorial revisions, offering a powerful and moving account of one woman's experience. Through Jae-hee's narrative, Anna discovers a story that spans decades and continents, a testament to the strength and survival of the human spirit.
