A story of perseverance is born in the midst of a national tragedy. Her family torn apart by the Korean War, a young girl fights to survive in the face of unimaginable peril and despair. Her life's journey takes her across the ocean and back as she struggles to reconcile her devastating past with the woman she seeks to become and searches for a community and a family in which she truly belongs.
An inspiring personal story, crossing two countries, of a young girl's life journey, transforming the pain and barriers of national prejudice, abuse, and racial discrimination into a pathway to wholeness, healing, and community empowerment. As a woman of color, I honor Hyon as a role model of resilience, perseverance, and hope. - Emma Corrie
Her life is itself a microcosm of the tragic history of Korea. But Ms. Hyon Kim has taken unspeakable tragedy and turned it into something triumphant. Her story is a gripping and powerful. It is a true story of her overcoming adversity and finding love and goodness in her life. While I hope that someday these sad stories will no longer be a part of our history, I am grateful that she has found a voice to tell her story. - Lee Sang-hoon
