Description
Set during China’s Boxer Rebellion, this graphic novel follows a nameless, unwanted girl known only as Four-Girl, whose search for love and belonging leads her to a Christian community. There, she receives a name—Vibiana—and discovers friendship, faith, and a powerful sense of identity, even as visions and rising violence reshape her world. Her story parallels the rebellion’s nationalist fervor from the opposing side, revealing the complicated human cost of religious conflict, cultural upheaval, and the struggle between tradition and change. Rendered in a restrained, autobiographical-comics-inspired style, the book offers a moving and intimate counterpoint to the larger historical drama.
