Stephanie Fast

This is such a heartwrenching story, and yet it is so full of hope. No one knows the path many in this world walk or have walked. Very few could walk and survive the path Stefanie Fast walked. I am not real familiar with the Korean War since it was many, many years before my time. However, I remember hearing similar stories after the Vietnam War. An American soldier fathers a child with a Korean mother. It is bad enough the mother is left pregnant and unwed, but the baby is mixed which is an absolute taboo. When she is four years old the family has had enough. Her mother takes her to the train station and abandons her. She spends years looking for her mother. The abuse and atrocities she goes through make it a miracle she survived. God looked down on her and had great plans for her. She did survive. This is one of those books you will start and continue to read until you have finished it. You will need your tissues as this will break your heart and the warm it. It made me hurt for every child today who goes through hardships. It makes me appreciate my years growing up and the love I had. I highly recommend this book.
