Harkjoon Paik left his native Korea in the midst of war. His home
destroyed and his educational opportunities lost, he left
everything and everyone behind in search of a way to accomplish his
life goals. He arrived in the United States as an ambitious and
optimistic teenager, knowing no one and without resources.
"Tracking the Tiger" is the story of how he survived in the
chaos of battle and immigration. He created a new life for himself,
making his way with hard work, and went on to earn degrees from
Stanford University and Stanford Law School. He began to practice
law and, at the age of thirty-eight, became the first native-born
Korean to sit on the Superior Court bench in not only California
but also the United States.
Judge Paik finds joy in life wherever he goes. He has raised
three children of great accomplishment, and he shares many lifelong
friendships and some great adventures along the way.
His wife, Beverly Paik, tells the story of her husband's life
and career in his voice. They met more than fifty years ago as
students at Stanford University. When he granted her access to his
diaries, she knew his was a story that needed to be shared with a
much bigger audience.
This is their story, one of love and triumph over adversity--and
of the undeniable power of hope.
