About The Author

Myung-Eun (Jean's mom!) has returned to her artistic background by illustrating her daughter's book. This collaboration represents something deeper than a creative partnership—the watercolor illustrations that anchor each chapter are a restoration of dreams deferred and a testament to the power of healing across generations. After studying Decorative Arts at Ewha Womans University in Korea, Myung-Eun immigrated to the United States in 1977. She set aside her creative pursuits to build a new life in America, supporting her family through running various small businesses and teaching art and Korean. Myung-Eun is an avid golfer and lives in the Los Angeles area with Jean's dad, Chung-Ho Kim.
