I read this and thought about my American education, and how roughly 10 minutes of my entire school career was dedicated to the Korean War's impact on citizens, and even less on Asian immigrants from Korea to the United States.
This memoir is incredibly eye-opening, challenging at all points, but in my opinion, essential reading. We need to amplify these voices.
