Rainbow Festival & Conference 2009: Leading Women of the World
GRACE NOTES – Sang-Eun Lee Bukaty
Ring Room, Cross-Cultural Center
Tuesday, November 3rd / Noon – 1pm
Grace Notes is a memoir of Sang-Eun Lee Bukaty, a Korean-American mother who grew up in Korea during the Korean war, earned national fame as a cellist, and adjusted to a new life in a foreign land while raising second-generation children as true Americans. Grace Notes describes Korean traditions and culture, including holidays, the art of kimchee-making, the structure of Korean families, the funeral process, and the experience of going to an elite music high school and college. The only book written by a first generation Korean, Grace Notes is a timeless story that spans two cultures, two continents, and two languages as it speaks of the universal love connecting sister to sister, mother to daughter, and wife to husband. A book signing will follow the presentation.
