O knihe
In the midst of post-war Korea, James Pae
came into the world, as an only son to his parents
struggling to find their place in the world. Unfortunately,
at the age of five, Pae's parents separated and he and his
father immigrated to America in 1973. With a single bag in
hand, hearts filled with promises, and deep rooted dreams,
they sought to make a new life in a foreign land. Since
that long ago day, Pae has come to embrace the American life
in all its winding, twisting paths. From living in Chicago's
inner city slums as a boy to his training with the Chicago
Police Academy as a man, Pae learned to deal with the rigors
of life in this new country. But it was when he met his
future wife, Joyce, that the lessons learned from an early
age in Korea to adulthood in America finally made sense.
Letters to Gabriel shares his extraordinary story of hope,
struggle, and perseverance in the form of ten letters
written to his unborn son intermixed with commentary on
Pae's life. Written while sitting at the kitchen table of
his Chicago home, Pae's deeply intimate narrative
encompasses the spectrum of human emotion. More than an
autobiography, this story reveals the extraordinary link
between father and son, and how our parents' sacrifices can
sometimes only be appreciated once we make them ourselves.
