Stretching across eight decades, this memoir covers Sung C. Yoo's harrowing childhood escape from North Korea; her miseries of life as a refugee in South Korea as war followed her; her difficulty in finding dignity as a nurse; her pain in splitting her family during the Vietnam War; and her struggle to find language, stability, and purpose in the United States. Although she grappled with survival at a very young age, she still managed to live a vibrant life. She experienced a personal and professional transformation within the nursing profession, ultimately leading to a whole new worldview. In this story of war, immigration, and nursing, Sung C. Yoo speaks to the contemporary world with a wealth of experience, the dignity of age, and the determination to continue to learn.
