Review

"Soentpiet's portraiture, which fills nearly every double spread, masterfully captures the young Korean family in the best and worst of times..."

"In expressive watercolors, Soentpiet provides an accurate look at Korean culture of the 1950s as well as Sumi's contemporary setting."

"This saga stands as a testament to the costs of war and to the deepest ties of devotion."

Publisher's note

As Sumi waits for the train that will bring her mother back after a long absence, Grandmother tells how her family escaped on a train from Seoul, Korea, at the last moment before the Korean War began.

Annotation

Sumi misses her mother, who has joined the army. In order comfort Sumi and reassure her that her mother will return home, Sumi's grandmother tells her the story of her family's escape from Seoul, Korea, just before the start of the Korean War. This story is based on the author's family history. Illustrated with color paintings.
