In the dark of night, a small Korean girl named Soo escapes from North Korea to South Korea. Her father is waiting for her in the south. Her mother stays behind...
In this powerful story of courage and faith, Soo faces the unknown as she is led by her guide over mountains and through woods, threatened with capture by ever-present enemy soldiers.
In spare and elegant prose, the authors have told a story based on their own mother's "freedom trip" across the 38th parallel just prior to the outbreak of the Korean War. Artist Debra Reid Jenkins has recreated the silence and the danger and the darkness of the journey in lustrous oil paintings, following Soo and her guide through the night—into the morning light of freedom.
