The Colors of My Identity

あらすじ
Born to a Black American soldier and a Korean mother in post-war South Korea, Hwang Tonny grew up as a mixed-race child in a world that rejected him. In 1970s Korea, a society scarred by war, Tonny was seen as an outsider-mocked, isolated, and denied a sense of belonging. The Colors of My Identity is a powerful memoir of cultural isolation, resilience, and the search for identity. Through raw, heartfelt storytelling, Tonny shares his journey as a biracial child navigating an orphanage and a country that refused to claim him. But in the face of rejection, one woman-his surrogate mother-embraced him as her own. Her love became the cornerstone of his resilience and a beacon of hope in a world that had turned its back on him. This memoir speaks to anyone who has ever felt different, struggled with identity, or longed for a sense of belonging. It is a story of survival, the complexity of being a mixed-race child, and the courage to embrace one's true self. For readers who have ever asked, "Where do I truly belong?"-this book is for you.
