Ethnic and Orthodox Serbs, ethnic and Kosovo Albanians, Muslim and Christian Kosovars, Bosnian Muslims and Serbs - there seem to be more pieces than places. Even when you try, it's difficult to put it all together. It's easier not to try. It's easier just to let our government sort and assemble the pieces for us. But all of those words aren't just pieces - they are people.
Every piece has a name.
Every piece is a face with a body and a soul. One of those Serb souls is a friend of J. J. Rosenbaum's. Rosenbaum, who grew up in Germantown, Tenn., is a senior at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. This month she graduates. This fall she goes to law school.
