The war cost her everything: a mother, a father, and a country. Four-year-old Bang Sun, found tied to a tree, is riddled with disease and malnutrition. She bears the scars of a tragic life and faces a future of nothing but pain, loss, and hopelessness. Orchestration is the story of a mixed-race African-American child of the Korean War. When Korea begins purging itself of its unwanted casualties, babies of war, Bang Sun's abandonment leads her to two orphanages and eventually to adoption in America. Bang Sun must now become an American—a Black American. Fiercely resilient and embodying her birth country's hope as expressed in the song "Arirang," Bang Sun, who becomes Saundra Henderson, must learn to navigate a new language, a new culture, and a new family. Through it all, she holds resolutely to the imperfect memory from her five years in her homeland and tenaciously to the "Boy" who saved her life. A powerful memoir of strength, grace, resilience, courage, and kindness, Orchestration will immerse you in the beautiful, inspiring recollections of the child called Bang Sun.
