A Well-Tempered Heart

Almost ten years have passed since Julia Win came back from Burma, her father’s native country. Though she is a successful Manhattan lawyer, her private life is at a crossroads. One day, in the middle of an important business meeting, she hears a voice in her head that causes her to leave the office without explanation. In the following days her crisis deepens as the voice starts to ask questions Julia has been trying to avoid. Interwoven with Julia’s story is that of a Burmese woman who finds her world turned upside down when Burma goes to war and calls on her two young sons to be child soldiers.
