description: Ghost of Sangju takes readers through Soojung Jo's childhood in Kentucky filled with joy family friendshipand the loneliness of being marked as an outsider even in her own home. Alternating between humor and heartbreak she offers a glimpse into a life foreign to most: that of a West Point cadet and her return to South Korea the country that had once sent her away. Soojung vividly paints a portrait of marriage parenthood (as both a biological and adoptive mother) and the tumultuous emotions of reuniting rediscovering and reestablishing lost familial bonds. Ghost of Sangju is a story of one womans journey to merge her two selves and the universal search for self-discovery identity and reconciliation.
