When her name was Keoko, World War II came to Korea, and her friends and relatives had to work and fight for Japan. When her name was Keoko, she never forgot her name was actually Kim Sun-hee. And no matter what she was called, she was Korean. Not Japanese. Inspired by true-life events, this amazing story reveals what happens when your culture, country and identity are threatened.

"I was had previously read one of Linda Sue Park's book for school, A Long Walk To Water, and loved they emotions and experienced she portrayed into her stories. I found this book later and knew I had to read this. I reccomend both of her books to anyone who wants to travel the world and experience the hardships of the past and present! 💕"
