Author of The Gattering of Pearls

Sook nyul Choi is the author of Gattering of Pearls. Obviously by her name she is a korean. But after researching, I found it interesting that she is not just a normal Korean immigration to the U.S. Instead, she is a refugee from North Korea to South Korea then later immigrated to the U.S.. I think her background will make her story more unique from others and tell some stories about the war during her childhood time period. I also see that most of her writings are for children and younger adults' novel, storybook.
