Amazon #1 Hot New Release in Adoption
Hope Diamond
A true story of adoption against the odds—and the extraordinary bond between a mother and a little girl in 1990s Korea.
Anna Dahland Kim is an author and teacher whose writing explores human relationships, belonging, family, and the places we call home.
Her work spans memoir, fiction, poetry, children’s books, and educational publishing. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times and Licton Springs Review, and her educational work has been published in South Korea by Chunjae Education and Kumseong Publishing.
Born in Sweden and shaped by many years of life in the United States and South Korea, Anna brings an international perspective—and a deep curiosity about the connections between people—to the stories she tells.
(That’s the professional version, anyway. Now come get to know me.)
Reaching Out
Poetry
Step into “mental health poetry” with this brief journey from self-isolation and doubt, to healing and companionship.
It’s for anyone who loves deeply, feels compassion for others, and yearns for deep connections.
It is for those of us who have been hurt but continue to hope for loving relationships and a more just world.
