8vo - 22.5 x 15.5 cm.; 490 pp. Pictorial covers with frenched flaps on the fore edges. A word about the author is needed: "Maria is a literary critic and professor of Korean literature at Sook Myung University. She is director of Nazareth Sacred Home, the resting place for abused and battered women, unwed mothers, repentant prostitutes and ex-convicts. She was awardee of the National Prize in Literature, Woman of the Year prize in Korea. She is a leader of the korean Catholic Charismatic Movement Association . . . She now lives at Nazareth Sacred Home with all women who wish to have their wounds healed". I stand in awe of her and thank God that she is here.
