Starry Field: A Memoir of Lost History:
"Wonderful memoir and fascinating introduction (for me!) to early 20th century Korean history told through the lens of the author's family saga. I loved the way she wove together a beautiful memoir about her own experience growing up in the United Sta"

"Granted, I know the author. And I’ve know her since the 80s. And we are friends. And the question of “how’s the book coming along” has been a topic of conversation for almost 2 decades. But this is an honest review, not a nepo-review.

"I really liked this book because the author juxtaposed her search for her patriot grandfather with her search for her own purpose in life. She got up close and personal with the Japanese heavy hand ruling over Korea from 1910 until the end of WRII. W"

“Two teams ran into each other at the local charity hospital in Austin. Both had the same idea to visit the maternity ward to support a new mother who was giving birth to a baby that day. The nurses at the hospital told both teams that there were two single mothers who had given birth that day. Both mothers were certain to need the money. One team gave a card and a crisp hundred-dollar bill. The other team purchased a hundred-dollar savings bond and wrote a card stating: "Because your baby is born on a day that will always be linked to a day of tragedy, we'd like you to have something positive you may share with the child in future years.”

Civil wars, climate change, and religious conflicts have caused the world's refugee crisis to grow, and people are struggling with how to handle strangers in need arriving upon their doorsteps and at the borders.”
