What if you survived war as a child and were separated from your family for a lifetime?

These pages stem from more than 20 years of daughter to Father interviews and portray the universal language of love. Contained within is a true story of the devastating division of Korea told through my Father's life. He escaped and survived, then spent his life yearning to see his family again. Letters from his sister and her children in the North were the only things they had of each other. When he left at 11 years old, they could not have known that they would never see each other again.

This book contains something for everyone. Historical accounts, romance, survival, and family...as well as the poetry of hope and ultimately

the human experience.

IMAGES FROM THE BOOK

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING

Korea United is a heartrending story of a people and a culture separated by politics, war, & the whims of the international community. Author Irene Kim has recorded the trials & angst suffered by her father, whose life & that of his family were devastated by what had happened in Korea since partition.

I enjoyed this read greatly & HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

5 stars

A lifelong appreciation for familial bonds, history, & heritage, in contrast with the way many of us live today.

Something that stood out as remarkably timely is the universal depiction of the emotional & cultural turbulence faced by immigrants.

Very highly Recommended.

Korea Reunited by Irene Kim offers a wealth of information on Korean history and the current state of affairs. This thought-provoking work gets one thinking about the true cost of war as leaders fight over ideologies. It also captured the plight of the families who were separated from their loved ones & are currently.

This was an AMAZING read & I look forward to reading something else by this talented author.......read more

5 stars

A deeply touching memoir of love & loss, family, & the enduring quest for identity. I especially enjoyed her reflections on every situation, her vivid descriptions of the people she met, the scenery, the food, & the culture she encountered, often different from her own.

Inspired thoughtful reflection from me as a reader.

5 Stars

An incredibly touching story that is much more than mere history. Irrespective of where people are from or what circumstances they find themselves in, there is always something they have in common, something that makes everyone human.

Recommended for anyone who enjoys memoirs & history.
