These pages stem from more than 20 years of daughter-to-father interviews and portray the universal language of love. Within them lies the true story of the devastating division of Korea, as told through my father's life. He escaped and survived, spending his life yearning to see his family again. Letters from his sister and her children in the North were the only connection they had with each other. When he left at 11 years old, they couldn't have known they would never see each other again.

​

Within every family, there are profound narratives that, if not captured, are lost forever. Knowing our family stories helps us understand ourselves. The ultimate journey may involve asking questions and recording the answers, promoting an ongoing connection with those who are no longer here but continue to live in the minds of our readers

This book contains something for everyone. 

Historical accounts, romance, survival, and family...as well as the poetry of hope and ultimately the human experience.
