In Soo Park was born during the Korean War facing hardships and trials that far surpass the capability of a small child: born to an alcoholic prostitute, not welcome in his hut of a home, spending nights in trash dumpsters, eating garbage to satisfy the hunger pains in his belly, and finally running away from the crippling chaos. This is a story of hope rising from unimaginable squalor where acts of unselfish kindness from a multitude of individuals positively impacted the life of an abandoned and unwanted child. Persisting throughout the child’s journey, was the echoing presence of mercy and grace that allowed this little boy to find a safe place in this suffering world.
