Trail of Crumbs: Hunger, Love, and the Search for Home by Kim Sunee
Reviews I picked this book up on a weekend and devoured it greedily, but "Trail of Crumbs" should be slowly savored. In a compelling and honest voice, Ms. Sunee drew me into her world and her search on several continents for an identity that was truly hers. Abandoned at three in her native South Korea, she has no real "place" or "family" from which to develop a sense of self. The story of her transforming relationships from the bayous of Louisiana to the lush countryside of France is an exploration of what identity is and what it means. It's a journey well worth making with Ms. Sunee. Maridith Geuder, MA (amazon.com)
Not only does Ms. Sunee have a thrilling story- but the style and raw talent to tell it in the most captivating way. This is the discovery of a new fresh talent who feeds us in vital ways; heart, soul and yes stomach. The food and recipes are nothing short of world class, written by a great talent both at the keyboard and the stove. Jerome Frankenthaler (amazon.com)
