About this product
Product Information
I don't know how old I was when I watched my mother's murder, nor do I know how old I am today.' So opens this beautiful, sad and uplifting memoir. The illegitimate daughter of a Korean peasant and an American GI, Elizabeth spent her early years as a social outcast, because of the Korean taboo against the mixing of races.

- 2***c (925)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook in excellent condition. It was packaged securely and received very promptly. I'd definitely highly recommend buying from this seller. The book was an excellent price too.
- a***5 (1238)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseGreat service. Fast delivery and well packaged. Books were described as in 'Good' condition and to be fair 2 of them were actually better than this. One has quite a lot of spotting on the edges that you don't get to see in the photos but even this book would still qualify as 'Good'. No complaints here.Stephen King - Build Your Own Book Bundle - Buy 3 Get 2 Free (#266862121932)
