Leah and the other thinly drawn figures are not intended as proper vehicles for telescoping the "rape camron of Nanking." Instead, Aussie Petit gives readers the journey into womanhood as exotic action-adventure, in the shadow of hundreds of thousands of murders.

Although only recently graduated from high school, Leah has learned enough about her father's business to be sought after by a mysterious Mr. Chang.
