Starry Field: A Memoir of Lost History is journalist Margaret Juhae Lee's intimate and touching debut, weaving together Margaret's family story against the backdrop of Korea's tumultuous modern history, with a powerful question at its heart: can we ever separate ourselves from our family's past—and if the answer is yes, should we?
Margaret is also a former writer and editor at The Nation magazine. In 2020, she was named “Person of the Year” by the Sangcheol Cultural Welfare Foundation in Kongju, South Korea, for her work in honoring her grandfather, Patriot Lee Chul Ha, with a gift from her family to his alma mater, Kongju High School. She lives in Oakland, CA with her family.
This event is co-sponsored by the Milwaukie Equity Steering Committee and Spoke & Word Books. Special thanks to the Friends of the Ledding Library for providing the funding that makes this program possible.
