This is a story of an ordinary Korean woman who forged her life under extraordinarily challenging conditions. She and her family weathered the cruel Japanese occupation and lived in a city war-ravaged twice under brutal Communist control. She eventually made her way to the U.S. to study, returning to Korea where she worked during the period when student demonstrations exiled a dictator and a military coup toppled another government.
The Divided Land is author Theresa J. Lee's story of faith-faith in her family, faith in her culture, but above all, faith in God.
Theresa J. Lee was born and raised in Korea. She recently retired after 30 years working for the Federal Government. She resides in a northern suburb of Chicago where she enjoys her hobbies including the study of medicine.
