"The ghosts that haunt us aren't always human. Liss Larkin and Nao Kao Inthavong hail from opposite corners of the world when they meet in graduate school; she an exuberant daughter of the American Midwest, and he the reserved survivor of Southeast Asia's wars. Yet their connection is immediate and their bond gradually deepens ? right up until the moment Liss walks away without a word of explanation. Twenty years later, Liss and Nao Kao unexpectedly cross paths again and emotions that seemed lost to time resurface as the pair reckons with the decisions they made years ago. Ultimately, Liss finds herself traveling to Laos, bound toward the one person she had sworn to forget, not sure what, or who, she will find when she lands." From back cover.
