Jihyun Yun is a Korean American writer from the San Francisco Bay Area who now resides in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She is the author of Some Are Always Hungry, a Prairie Schooner Prize winning poetry collection.  And The River Drags Her Down is her debut novel.

Soojin has always known the rules â" never bring back anything larger than her palm from the dead, but that was before Mirae died. The two Han sisters possess a secret unusual gift: the ability to reanimate the dead. Passed down through generations, Soojin and Mirae have brought back countless creatures - though always with the warning never to resurrect anything larger than what they can hold in their palms. But when eldest daughter Mirae is found mysteriously drowned in the river that cuts through their small coastal town, freshly grieving 17-year-old Soojin canât resist the impulse to bring her beloved sister back. At first, the sisters delight in their reunion. But after their sleepy all-American-town is engulfed by a series of harrowing, unusual deaths, Soojin is forced to reckon with the fact that perhaps the sister she brought back isnât the one she knew.
