In the early 1900s teenaged Sunja the adored daughter of a crippled fisherman falls for a
wealthy stranger at the seashore near her home in Korea. He promises her the world but when
she discovers she is pregnant-and that her lover is married-she refuses to be bought. Instead
she accepts an offer of marriage from a gentle sickly minister passing through on his way to
Japan. But her decision to abandon her home and to reject her son's powerful father sets off
a dramatic saga that will echo down through the generations.--Page [4] of cover.
