Overview

There is no justice in tragedy, but that doesn't stop him from looking. 'Without even a glimpse at his girl's keeper of several years, he turned away and opened the door of the RV. A cold wind from the dark hit his face. Welcome to the new world, he smiled. Carefully stepping down, he walked toward the hospital. The moon followed him, showing the way. Was the moon confused that it might be her lost baby? She will be born again.' Tragedy sets a man on a desperate mission that entwines the fates of five families with his own. As that mission careens toward disaster, the connected families negotiate pain, guilt, and desperation. To Be Sacred is a novel that is part psychological investigation into loss and obsession, and part social commentary. Set in early 21st century South Korea, the book explores the ethical dilemmas that modern technologies and consumerism bring to ordinary families.
