The Dance of the Spirits
By Catherine Aerie
Genre: Historical Fiction
Synopsis:
Spring 1951: it is the fiery zenith of the Korean War, a war
that the youthful US Army lieutenant Wesley Palm and his men thought that they
had won … until the Chinese swept across the Yalu River. Traveling with the
million-man army bent on driving back the march of “American imperialism” is
Jasmine Young, a Chinese surgeon who has volunteered herself into the war for
unspoken, grave reasons. Through a chronicle of merciless battles, freezing
winter, and the brutality and hypocrisy of human nature, the two will find
themselves weaving through the twist and turns of fate and destiny, where an
unquenchable passion, a resilient pursuit of liberty, and an inherent dignity
light the darkness against the vast sky of a warring world and of nation and
cultures that stand shattered and divided by the same forces that unify them.
