It's not an uncommon story--the peninsula was split down the 38th parallel, dividing one country into two. As many fled violence in the north, not everyone was able to make it south. Her mother's story inspired Gendry-Kim to begin interviewing her and other Koreans separated by the war; that research fueled a deeply resonant graphic novel. The Waiting is the fictional story of Gwija, told by her novelist daughter Jina. When Gwija was 17 years old, after hearing that the Japanese were seizing unmarried girls, her family married her in a hurry to a man she didn't know. Japan fell, Korea gained its independence, and the couple started a family. But peace didn't come. The young family--now four--fled south. On the road, while breastfeeding and changing her daughter, Gwija was separated from her husband and son. Then 70 years passed. Seventy years of waiting. Gwija is now an elderly woman and Jina can't stop thinking about the promise she made to help find her brother."--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Fiction Gendry-Kim Graphic Novel Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Gendry-Kim   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Fiction Gendry-Kim AGN Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Gendry-Kim [Graphic] Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction Gendry-Kim Graphic novel Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Fiction Gendry-Kim Graphic Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Fiction Gendry-Kim Graphic Novel Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Fiction Gendry-Kim Graphic Novel Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Fiction Gendry-Kim GrNov Checked In Add Copy to MyList
