About this title

Synopsis

A collection of works from a generation born in Korea and adopted to other countries. In the deepest recesses of memory, perhaps some clue remains, some shadowy recollection of a mother, of a land, now foreign, yet somehow vaguely familiar. They began life in Korea, but circumstances took them thousands of miles away to adoptive families in America, Europe, and Australia. From childhood they grew into their adopted cultures, but the reflection in the mirror, the whispers of strangers and the quiet beating of the heart perhaps told them of another land...seen through the eyes of a small child, felt in the language of a child's heart. The writings and works contained in this book reflect experiences of Korean adoptees They are images and words that can never be completely removed from that child in Korea. They are "Voices from Another Place."
