One Thousand Chestnut Trees
This powerful memoir blends fact and fiction to tell a story of family, history and identity. When Anna's uncle arrives in Vermont from Korea, his visit sets off a chain of events that forces her to confront the secrets of her past.
Generations later, Anna embarks on a journey to uncover the truth about her family's history, tracing back to her great-grandfather Lord Min, who built a temple and planted one thousand chestnut trees to shield it from view. A powerful exploration of Korea's complex past, this book is a moving tale of love, loss and legacy.
