<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>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, malnutrition, and bears the scars of a tragic life. Facing a future of nothing but pain, loss, and hopelessness, we follow 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, her abandonment leads to two orphanages and eventually to adoption in America - where Bang Sun must now become an American - a Black American.</p><p>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 that of the 'Boy' who saved her life. </p><p>A powerful memoir of strength, grace, resilience, courage, and kindness, you'll find yourself immersed in this beautiful and inspiring recollection of the child called Bang Sun. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><strong>Advance Praise for Orchestration</strong></p><p> </p><p>Fifty years ago, in our freshman dorm at Stanford, we knew her as Sandy Henderson, a dynamic, beautiful spirit straight outta Compton. What we never knew-and what she barely knew-was her extraordinary history. Her cinematic book -"Annie" for our times -tells that story.</p><p>-Glenn Kramon, former assistant managing editor, The New York Times</em></p><p> </em></p><p>An affecting memoir that intelligently unpacks an experience of cultural dislocation. The author's story is as remarkable as it is moving, and she furnishes an exceedingly thoughtful reflection on a life that was full of both misfortune and luck.</p><p>-Kirkus Review</p><p> </p><p>"Poetic. Haunting. Hopeful. Historical. ORCHESTRATION is a profound testimony of faith, identity, resilience and self-determination. Brutality. Neglect. Denial. All unmatched by the infinite power of the human spirit. Bang Sun is my new personal hero!"</p><p> </p><p>-Dr. Lamman Rucker</p><p>Film Actor/Producer - Activist - Educator - Entrepreneur </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>A fascinating story of perseverance, love for family and God's beautiful orchestration.</p><p>-Susan L. Taylor, Editor-in-Chief Emerita of Essence Magazine and Founder of the National CARES Mentoring Movement</p><br>
