    Grass

    By Keum Suk Kobabe

    The story of Lee Ok-sun, a Korean woman born into abject poverty and hard labor, denied any formal education, adopted out by her desperate parents, kidnapped off the street, and forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese military during World War II. Upon liberation, Lee was outcast, homeless, eventually settling into an abusive marriage that kept her in China for the next fifty years before finally returning to Korea to reclaim her identity.
