"Elizabeth Kim's "Memoir" has many holes, including events she claims occured in Korea which are inaccurate with Korean traditions, life styles, and events. Too many vague details along with very vivid "memories" which appear timely for Ms. Kim's own benefit. "
J. Koscher, Resident Scholar

"a book about learning to let go of the past & move on to the future. a book teaching how the need to break the vicious cycle so that the future generations and the peers wouldn't be haunted by the past."
