A semi-autobiographical novel based on the author's childhood experiences during the Japanese and Soviet occupations of Pyongyang in the 1940s, culminating in a harrowing escape to South Korea. This is the first in a trilogy, with subsequent books focusing on the refugee experience in South Korea, and later as an immigrant to the United States.
