Cries of the Soul: The true story of a Korean adoptee's fight to survive

In 1970, shortly after the death of her mother, and without the consent or even the knowledge of her father, a barely one year old girl is put up for foreign adoption in South Korea. She ends up in an adoptive family where she spends her childhood suffering neglect and abuse at the hands of her adoptive parents. "Cries of the Soul" tells a story rather different from the more common, picture-perfect fairy tales of the adoption industry. With her original childhood and natural family stolen from her, Khara Nin? describes the harsh reality of coping and trying to fit into a family where she doesn't belong, of grieving the loss of parents she can not even remember, and the emotional scars which she is still struggling to get to grips with more than forty years later.

"Beginning with the trauma of lying in the arms of her beloved Umma when she died, Khara takes the reader through her life's journey with a colorful, flowing narrative, joyous in parts, yet mostly a soul wrenching description of one woman's struggle to survive." - Joe Soll, author of "Adoption Healing... a path to recovery"
