The author of this book attended my church. His son is my dentist. Wonderful read and a wonderful life story. He lived a wonderful life and became a well known cardiologist in Long Beach, California. This book is used in UCLA history classes. My cardiologist knew him and they were great friends.

Excellent!

I found this book very readable and exciting. A true story presenting his journey from humble roots in North Korea to being a doctor in the US. Anyone looking for real insight into what the Communist North is like must read this book.

Touching Story about his life during & after the Korean War

Donald Chung's account of the Korean War in his eyes was extremely touching because it showed his struggle to understand the war. He also showed how difficult it was for the Korean people who were forced to live and thrive with the line that others drew for them, which caused the people to be separated from their family. Then to see his life as he tries to regain contact with his family in North Korea during the Iron Curtain era was sad and extremely endearing to see his struggle. I used many tissues to get through this book. I definitely recommend it for the great story but also the history behind it.
