About This Book
It is 1945, and courageous ten-year-old Sookan and her family must
endure the cruelties of the Japanese military occupying Korea. Police
captain Narita does his best to destroy everything of value to the
family, but he cannot break their spirit. Sookan's father is with the
resistance movement in Manchuria and her older brothers have been sent
away to labor camps. Her mother is forced to supervise a sock factory
and Sookan herself must wear a uniform and attend a Japanese school.
Then the war ends. Out come the colorful Korean silks and bags of white
rice. But Communist Russian troops have taken control of North Korea and
once again the family is suppressed. Sookan and her family know their
only hope for freedom lies in a dangerous escape to American controlled
South Korea.
Here is the incredible story of one family's love for each other and
their determination to risk everything to find freedom.
