Our Review
This memoir chronicles a mother's profound journey of healing on Jeju Island, a place of stunning volcanic beauty and complex history. Following the devastating loss of her young son, the author arrives on the island seeking solace, only to discover that its rugged landscape and the quiet resilience of its fishing villages mirror her own internal search for peace. The narrative beautifully intertwines her personal grief with the island's own scars, creating a poignant exploration of how a place can hold both immense pain and the potential for renewal.
What sets this story apart is its raw honesty and the way it frames grief not as something to be overcome, but as a transformative force that can lead to a new beginning. Parents who have experienced loss will find a deeply resonant and compassionate companion in these pages, while any reader will be moved by this testament to the human spirit's capacity to find light after darkness. The book ultimately serves as a powerful reminder of the harbors for the heart that can be found in the most unexpected places.
