Description
In the summer of 1968, America was protesting for civil rights and experiencing free love. For a Korean family just learning the ways of Los Angeles, life ran in a much tighter circle: how to keep four wild boys fed, how a 12-year-old girl could run a home while her mother worked overtime six days a week, and how the whole family would face an unknown future when the father left his higher education aspirations at UCLA to start a Korean church at no pay. Author Susan M. Chung winds a tale of her mother's journey with humor, frank talk, and acute insight into the foundations of the Korean American community in Los Angeles, before Koreatown. Experience the beauty of a simple but hard-fought life in the cultural gem that is Silver Lake, with the wonder of "Free Candy Day" and the puzzlement over hot dogs and body shops. Laughter and tears will melt into a smile of recognition as this heartwarming story takes you back to those days, and to the complex feelings surrounding every mother-daughter relationship. Susan M. Chung is a founder and partner of Chung & Romano, a Silicon Valley law firm specializing in family law. She and her law partner husband, Kevin Romano, reside in San Francisco. She grew up in South Korea and Silver Lake with four brothers and is the only daughter of Reverend and Mrs. Si Woo Chung.
