In a desperate attempt to save their daughter; Lucia’s parents place her in the care of a Polish couple who risk their own lives by taking her in. After the war ends; at age five she discovers her Jewish origins but remains with her adoptive parents. Growing up a practicing Catholic; yet often taunted or threatened for being born Jewish; Lucia struggles with questions of identity and faith while drawing on a deep well of inner strength that would take her years to acknowledge and explain.

The cartoons drawn and sent to a young doctors daughter in an attempt to keep in touch and I suspect fend off the real emotions of being in the middle of a war. The book is engaging; beautiful; sad and happy all at the same time. The coupling of historical facts and the wonderful cartoons make this a book worth reading again and again. I know the people in this book and still learned so much about their lives. Thank you for this treasure.Molly Kilb0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A father cares so deeply for his daughter that he hides the ugly war reality from even himself.By PhyllisA timely book for today with many Americans ready for the first time to remember the Korean War and share their stories. Ann has gracefully presented a blend between the love of a father protecting his daughter during the ugliness or war and explaining what the facts and experiences the father lived under when he wrote the letters.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Different perspective on KoreaBy Ann StillWhile he was writing to his young daughter; this Combat Medic conveys a lot of information on how the Korean people live. His drawings are nice; and I'm sure his daughter is very proud of this collection of letters.
