Among the Dead

Ana, a young Korean American woman, travels to Seoul in 1975 to retrieve her deceased father’s ashes. Discovering her late father’s journal, Ana ventures into the past with the help of none other than Jesus. In 1944, she finds herself in the shoes of a Korean woman who introduces herself as Number Four, a “comfort woman” for the Japanese imperial army. Number Four meets Luke, a young American soldier, in the battlegrounds of Myanmar. A year later, Ana is born. This is the story of a family forged by war, broken promises, and divine intervention.
