Book Review
"Heartfelt and at times heart-rending, "Seaweed and Shamans" details
Brenda Paik Sunoo's journey through grief into solace. Written with
courage and generosity, her collection of essays traverses personal
memory and Korean-American history, as well as the thoughts and drawings
garnered from diary entries of the child she lost. A testimony to the
endurance of faith and art, life and love. "Seaweed and Shamans" is a
gift of healing." --Nora Okja Keller, author of "Comfort Woman" and "Fox
Girl"
"This is a wonderful book: warm, honest, intelligent, funny,
unsentimental and heartbreaking, too. Brenda Sunoo weaves the experience
of her grief over the death of her son with the story of her life and
family, and it works beautifully. Is it possible to heal from the loss
of a child? This book says yes; to heal and to transcend, but never to
forget, never to lose that child living now in your heart. This is a
story that will stay with you for a long time." --Sharman Apt Russell,
author of "Songs of the Fluteplayer: Seasons of Life in the Southwest"
"Brenda Sunoo has learned from her personal experience that the death of
a child is one of the most painful experiences you can have. She has
also learned that there are gifts in grief and shares them with the
reader. But the greatest gift, perhaps, is that the bereaved can now
receive comfort from such a wonderful book." --Allen Klein, author of
"The Courage to Laugh: Humor, Hope and Healing in the Face of Death and
Dying."
