THE GENERAL'S SWAPPED BRIDE

Her father created a little store for visitors to come and do business in, and her mother is a teacher. When she was on her way to school one day, she heard that her grandparents had tried to put out a fire in the home but had failed because it had grown out of control and that her parents were in the hospital's emergency department. Two persons suffered significant burn injuries. She hurried to the hospital and learned that more than 90% of the patients could not be rescued due of the severity of the burns. She was only in the ninth grade at the time, so for a girl in her grade, that was quite startling. There were no relatives around at the time, only neighbors who could assist Thien Thanh in arranging funerals for her parents.
