520 1 $a"In 1977, a 13-year-old girl disappeared on her way home from school in Japan. It wasn't until 20 years later that an astounding truth came to light: she had been kidnapped by North Korea." "For many years, the majority of Japanese dismissed rumors regarding such abduction operations as a manifestation of Cold War paranoia. They were proven wrong when, under international pressure, North Korea's Chairman Kim publicly admitted to whisking away foreign citizens." "In this powerful memoir, Sakie Yokota tells of the agony she suffered as the mother of the abductee: first due to uncertainty about what happend to her daughter, and later due to her own government's insipid diplomatic efforts. During her ordeals, she found solace in the Bible's simple words and converted to Christianity. Not merely a ledger of pain, her memoir is a tale of enduring hope, strength, and wisdom, and of the love of family and the kindness of strangers that has sustained her." "North Korea refuses to return her daughter Megumi, claiming that she is dead, but the "evidence" they provided has not substantiated the assertion. Mrs. Yokota continues to have faith."--BOOK JACKET.
