Inhaltsangabe

Ki Ho Kim takes the reader on an emotional and enthralling journey as he transitions from a carefree early childhood to life during the Korean War and finally finds a new home in a foreign land. Kim describes geographical settings of his birthplace and shares his viewpoints and impacts of international, social, and political events of his life. He reminisces about his happy childhood in China - innocent and glorious moments of country living. He recalls moments like eating wild grapes picked right off of the vines near his home as he explored and gave into his adventurous nature.

His happy and carefree life was then interrupted by the onset of the Korean War, leaving him an orphan. He left his homeland to travel across the 38th Parallel and worked for American soldiers in hopes to learn English. Eventually one American officer brought him to the United States and supported him all through college.

As a minority Asian immigrant living in the hospitable South, he documents his provocative and eye-opening observations on the predicament the African-American and American-Indian cultures faced.
