Trapped in an enemy
tunnel, a young refugee experiences the Korean War firsthand in this searing
story of survival, loss, and hope, a companion to the Freeman Award-winning
novel Brother’s Keeper.
Myung-gi knows war is coming: War between North and South Korea. Life in
communist North Korea has become more and more unbearable—there is no freedom
of speech, movement, association, or thought—and his parents have been
carefully planning the family’s escape.
But when his father is abducted by the secret police, all those plans fall
apart. How can Myung-gi leave North Korea without his dad? Especially when he
believes that the abduction was his fault?
Set during a cataclysmic war which shaped the world we know today, this is the
story of one boy’s coming-of-age during a time when inhumanity, lawlessness,
and terror reigned supreme. Myung-gi, his mother, and his twelve-year-old
sister Yoomee do everything they can to protect one another. But gentle, quiet,
bookish Myung-gi has plans to find his father at any cost—even if it means
joining the army and being sent to the front lines, where his deepest fears
await him.
