Kim Sunee tells us so much about the French that I never learned in 25 trips to Paris, but mostly about the terrors and pleasure of that infinite octopus, love. A fine book.\" \u003cbr\u003eWhen Kim Sunee was three years old, her mother took her to a marketplace, deposited her on a bench with a fistful of food, and promised she'd be right back. Three days later a policeman took the little girl, clutching what was now only a fistful of crumbs, to a police station and told her that she'd been abandoned by her mother. \u003cbr\u003eFast-forward almost 20 years and Kim's life is unrecognizable. Adopted by a young New Orleans couple, she spends her youth as one of only two Asian children in her entire community. At the age of 21, she becomes involved with a famous French businessman and suddenly finds herself living in France, mistress over his houses in Provence and Paris, and stepmother to his eight year-old daughter. \u003cbr\u003eKim takes readers on a lyrical journey from Korea to New Orleans to Paris and Provence, along the way serving forth her favorite recipes. A love story at heart, this memoir is about the search for identity and a book that will appeal to anyone who is passionate about love, food, travel, and the ultimate search for self.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Grand Central Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Trail of Crumbs: Hunger, Love, and the Search for Home | Kim Sunee | Hardcover | 9780446579766 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks A 1777061","offer_id":49765589549208,"sku":"1777061","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61Yv4WA0_ML.jpg?v=1787970053","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/trail-of-crumbs-hunger-love-and-the-search-for-home","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
