Fiction, memoir, poetry and art from the first generation of Korean adoptees who are now grown to adulthood, but never completely removed from their roots in Korea. The writings and artwork contained in Voices from Another Place reflect the experiences and emotions of those who began life in Korea, but were raised by adoptive families in America, Europe and Australia. From childhood they grew into their adopted cultures, but the reflection in the mirror, the whispers of strangers, and the quiet beating of their hearts perhaps told them of another land, the land of their birth.

As the mother of an international adoptee, I recommend Voices from Another Place to all parents like me, who want to understand what our children can't always express - their deepest thoughts and feelings about being from "another place."
