This is my story as Elevy, a girl who has known and loved two native lands. It is the story of a child’s life, but not a typical American child’s life. The story is set in a land remote and different from America: Korea. My memories of the period covered by the book were very fresh indeed. It is a story of the Land of Morning Calm. It is a true story. It covers the years from 1923 to 1928 in my life, the life of an American girl whose parents were Methodist Missionaries at the Mission Station at Kaesong (formerly Song-Do) near what is now the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and the 38th Parallel, and twelve miles from Pan Mun-Jom. The chain of events outlined in the story occurred as they are related: one family, one small hospital, one small country. One question perhaps is uppermost in the minds of people today: what has happened to the hospital, the schools, the buildings of the missionary compound? Do they still exist? I hope that this book will bring the story full circle and be an inspiring record of the life of a family of American missionaries on a foreign mission station in Korea during the early part of the past century.
