Elizabeth Kim, Doubleday, 2000 |
Elizabeth Kim's mother committed the sin of sleeping with an American soldier, and producing not just a bastard, but a mixed-race child, considered worthless. Abandoned at a Christian orphanage in post-war Seoul. A childless Fundamentalist pastor and his wife in the United States adopted Elizabeth. After escaping her adoptive parents' home, only to find herself in an abusive and controlling marriage, Kim made a break for herself by having a daughter and running away.
