Korea Reunited: A Family's Lifelong Dream (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218416843)

Every family has a story transcending time, place, and generation, helping us understand who we are. Embark on an emotional journey of unearthing deep, untold stories of a family's past in Korea Reunited.

Through meticulous research and candid interviews of her parents, Kim discovers the turbulent history of their homeland and the pain of generational loss they shielded her from knowing. Korea Reunited is a deeply personal account of her father's childhood escape from the northern areas and their individual war-driven experiences in the south.

Kim's story paints a disturbingly vivid picture of the country's tumultuous past-marked by Japanese oppression, communist rule, and the division of a once united land-impacting the trajectory of her parents' lives. Carrying the weight of their shattered dreams and unfulfilled longing for reunion, they ultimately made their way to America.

Korea Reunited uncovers universal truths about the human experience, reminding us that even in the face of lifelong separation and adversity, the bonds of love remain unbreakable. A poignant testament to the enduring strength of the human spirit, Korea Reunited is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of Korea's past and the resilience of the human heart.
