When she sleeps

"Years after the fall of Saigon, half-sisters Lucy and Mai find one another in the world of dreams. Mai is the Amerasian child of a former U.S. Army surgeon and a Vietnamese linguist, Linh. Although the surgeon had planned to leave his American wife for Linh, in the chaos of the American evacuation, she and her infant were left behind." "Now both the girls are teenagers. Bereft of a father, Mai lays claim to what she believes is rightfully hers - her mother's memories of the doctor, locked away in dreams. Meanwhile Lucy escapes from her parents' secrets into her darkroom and the photographs she transforms into dreamscapes. Gradually Lucy finds herself mystically transported to the half-sister she's never met, dreaming the lush landscape of her father's infidelity."--BOOK JACKET.
