Summary:

"It's the coldest Korean winter in decades, and twenty-eight-year-old Chinese American journalist Ellie Chang has hitched a ride on a military flight to cover a battle in the mountains of North Korea when her plane is shot down in enemy territory. The pilot is killed, but Ellie is saved from communist soldiers by a woman who insists Ellie is her missing daughter. Hwa-Ja, "Emma," knows deep in her bones that her daughter, who has been missing since WWII, lives, just as she knows that Ellie is not her. But Ellie is someone's daughter, and she won't watch her die. So she convinces her household to hide the girl. Imo, the matriarch of their home, has no patience for this American girl whose presence could mean the death of them all, but she's seen the rise and fall of power before and knows Ellie could be useful to them. Together--as the Chinese, American, and Korean troops clash, and bombs explode overhead--the women chase the constantly moving frontline south. Emma always searching, Imo haunted by the past, and Ellie keeping her identity hidden at all costs . . . even as her life becomes entangled with theirs. Moving and triumphant, The Young Will Remember sheds light on the Forgotten War and emphasizes the resilience of love within some of our darkest histories, the courage of women and girls, and the indefatigable determination of mothers in war"-- Provided by publisher.
