Welcome!
My debut novel, White Mulberry, follows a teenage girl who leaves an impoverished village in northern Korea in the 1930s to seek a better future in Japan. But once there, she faces racial prejudice among many obstacles, as she tries to forge a new identity in an unwelcome new country. This story, and the sequel, Red Seal, are inspired by the true story of my grandmother’s and father’s lives. My mission is to amplify voices that have been overlooked and spur others to explore and share their own family stories.
“White Mulberry is a beautiful and poignant novel of a young Korean woman’s coming of age amidst the turbulence of colonization and World War II. The resilience and self-determination of her heroine vividly mirrors the astonishing trajectory of her nation.”—Juhea Kim, author of Beasts of a Little Land and City of Night Birds
I invite you to join my newsletter and follow me on The Journey blog as I navigate writing and publishing books, such as landing a two-book deal with Lake Union, the inspiration for my novels, and being a debut author at 60! I would love to connect with you! Please scroll through my past posts to read about my path to publication, and enter your name and email address in the box below to receive my new entries. You’ll receive a bonus Korean recipe as a gift. I’m thrilled that White Mulberry is finding its way out into the world and can’t wait for Red Seal to be published in 2026!

On this Mother’s Day I want to thank my mom, who gave of herself so tirelessly for the next generation, and to my own children who FaceTimed with me from Brooklyn and Salt Lake City. 💕
I gifted my mom the Korean edition of my book, now available in the US, thanks to my cousin @judyleerx who ordered it for me. My mom and I were showered with enough flowers to open a small shop! 💐
Happy Mother’s Day to all! ❤️
