A Rose in a Ditch

Discover the inspiring journey of Julie Henning (Goo Sooni), a girl in post-war South Korea. As a mixed-race child, she faced immense poverty and discrimination, determined to survive and honor her loving mother.

Though her birth mother never lived to see the beautiful woman she became, two other mothers—Nobel Prize-winning author Pearl S. Buck and Jean Price—helped raise her to stand tall. Her memoir, A Rose in a Ditch, is a powerful testimony to God’s care and endless love, sharing the amazing story of how a girl from humble beginnings became a daughter to Pearl S. Buck.
