So begins the story of two sisters suddenly and violently separated by war.
Terrified for her sister, Hana swims as hard as she can for the shore.
Her mother has told her again and again never to be caught alone with one.
One day Hana sees a Japanese soldier heading for where Emi is guarding the day\'s catch on the beach.
If you see her, you are safe.\' Hana and her little sister Emi are part of an island community of haenyo, women who make their living from diving deep into the sea off the southernmost tip of Korea.
Never forget.
