A North Korean refugee now in his 80s tells his story of tragedy, survival, and struggle, starting from his birth in Pyongyang to his unforeseeable journey in the United States. Chinkook Lee left his home in North Korea at age 13, traveling on foot to Seoul in the midst of the Korean War, not realizing that he would never see his mother again as a result. This is both a universal immigrant story, one familiar to many Korean Americans of his generation, and yet a deeply personal and unique experience of loss, hope, love, and faith. It also gives a window into the Korean immigrant experience in the U.S. in a way that few first generation Korean Americans have ever expressed in English. This is a story that will help others to understand what first-generation Korean immigrants and refugees faced in their journeys to the U.S., and how community, family, and their religious experiences helped them to survive and thrive.
