"Instead, I try to adjust to the dawn, letting the tears fall where they may, because it is morning; it is morning and there is so much to see."

And in the end, of course, a true war story is never about war. It's about sunlight. It's about the special way that dawn spreads out on a river when you know you must cross the river and march into the mountains and do things you are afraid to do. It's about love and memory. It's about sorrow. It's about sisters who never write back and people who never listen.
