|summary=A young american woman travels to Burman in search of her missing father. What she finds is a story of resilience and heartbreak and enduring love. It also shows us the side of Burma that gets lost in the global news bulletins. Not for the action hero types, a MUST for anyone that loves to feel.

Sendker is German-born (Hamburg 1960) and worked as American correspondent for ''Stern'' (1990 to 95) and then as its Asian correspondent from '95 to '99. He now lives in Berlin. This probably gives him enough global insight to write about a US-born high flyer with an Asian heritage heading off to Burma to find out the truth of her father's disappearance. It probably also gives him the language skills to do it in English without recourse to a translator.
