{"product_id":"trail-of-crumbs-kim-sune-9780446697903","title":"Trail of Crumbs: Hunger, Love, and the Search for Home","description":"\u003cb\u003eAlready hailed as \"brave, emotional, and gorgeously written\" by Frances Mayes and \"like a piece of dark chocolate--bittersweet, satisfying, and finished all too soon\" by Laura Fraser, author of \u003ci\u003eAn Italian Affair, \u003c\/i\u003e this is a unique memoir about the search for identity through love, hunger, and food.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Jim Harrison says, \"Trail of Crumbs reminds me of what heavily costumed and concealed waifs we all are. Kim Sunv(c)e tells us so much about the French that I never learned in 25 trips to Paris, but mostly about the terrors and pleasure of that infinite octopus, love. A fine book.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e When Kim Sunv(c)e was three years old, her mother took her to a marketplace, deposited her on a bench with a fistful of food, and promised she'd be right back. Three days later a policeman took the little girl, clutching what was now only a fistful of crumbs, to a police station and told her that she'd been abandoned by her mother. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Fast-forward almost 20 years and Kim's life is unrecognizable. Adopted by a young New Orleans couple, she spends her youth as one of only two Asian children in her entire community. At the age of 21, she becomes involved with a famous French businessman and suddenly finds herself living in France, mistress over his houses in Provence and Paris, and stepmother to his eight year-old daughter. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Kim takes readers on a lyrical journey from Korea to New Orleans to Paris and, along the way serving forth her favorite recipes. A love story at heart, this memoir is about the search for identity and a book that will appeal to anyone who is passionate about love, food, travel, and the ultimate search for self.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kim Sun馥\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0446697907\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780446697903\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Popular Library\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/06\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.24h x 5.48w x 1.08d","brand":"Kim Sun馥","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980947423487,"sku":"9780446697903","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a66d58f3-b54b-4c2a-bfd6-693104a71a3a.jpg?v=1683252823","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/trail-of-crumbs-kim-sune-9780446697903","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
