Kim lives in Connecticut. ***Praise for the Book"ME, THEN is an amazing accomplishment. Although set in Korea in the 1960's, the story is at once universal and timeless. It is like something from Charles Dickens in the best possible sense—an epic chronicle of a child's suffering and passage through a crazy but thoroughly human mess of a family.

Su-young, the brave and compelling young Korean protagonist, seems reminiscent of characters from Dickens or the Brontës, facing the same relentless childhood adversity: poverty, abandonment, isolation. A captivating story that lingers far beyond the final pages.”—Brunonia Barry, NY Times bestselling author of “The Lace Reader”“Written in powerful, gripping, lyrical prose, “Me, Then” is an immersive, heart-wrenching dive into a young girl's quest for a better life.
