Fish Heads and Folktales - Reflections on Culture, Family, and Life from a Korean Adoptee (Paperback)

Before Peter M. Moran was old enough to walk, he took a trip around the world that few people ever experience. Over the next thirty-plus years, he embarked on a journey of discovery that, although unique, many can relate to.

Moran was born in Seoul, South Korea, and was adopted by an American family at the age of seven months. When he arrived at his new home in Minneapolis, he was met by an older sister, the couple's biological child, and he later became brother to three more adopted children.

"Fish Heads and Folktales" is Moran's autobiographical account of growing up with dual identities as a Korean boy adopted by a Caucasian family, and the path that led him not only back to his motherland to discover his roots, but also to take a closer look at his life to discover acceptance and inner peace. A thoughtful, entertaining collection of short stories that summarize Moran's life journey, it delves into topical issues such as race, culture, and overcoming stereotypes along with universal issues like the importance of family and falling in love.

Sure to touch your heart, "Fish Heads and Folktales" is a must-read for anyone who has ever felt marginalized or struggled with fitting in.
