About this ebook

Sunhi hears a girl screaming and attempts to rescue the girl. But, the screaming voice is her own. In the mist of this nightmare she finds a dream. A doraji, a flower that is a symbol of her and her fiancs love for each other. She grabs the flower before being taken into China from her love, family, country, and God.

Ju, has found love or has Love found him? Before he can find the answer to this question it is lost, as his beloved is taken from him. Ju, becomes hardened. Will Love find him again? The quest that he is sent on by an unseen Person is a journey of True Love.

Sunhi and Ju are preparing to marry within the day in North Korea. But, hours before their ceremony, the couple are ambushed and Sunhi is captured. She is forced to marry a man from China. After the birth of their first child, her husband destroys the baby girl, leaving her childless. Soon, Sunhi gives birth to another girl after pledging to keep her daughter safe. She disguises her as a boy, a task that is easier now that her husband works in Russia. As her child grows older, Sunhi fears her secret will be exposed. But, when she takes him to the marketplace on his fifth birthday, she finds a miracle with the power to change everything as the past intertwines with the present and leads to the Truth.

Awaken, Hana is a poignant tale of love, hope, faith, and determination as a North Korean woman and her beloved attempt to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds and find their way back to each other.

Sally Jo Messersmith

Sally Jo Messersmith lives in Michigan, and her heart is for Korea. Her cousin, Zola Payne, was a missionary in Korea when it was still one nation. Zola's letters about the Korean people inspired Sally Jo to pray for North Korea to be transformed by love, and that the divided nation would become ONE again. Sally Jo wrote her first book, AWAKEN HANA, in 2015. AWAKEN HANA is a more in depth story about the underground railroad in North Korea, and is the "big sister book" to HANA Crosses The Freedom Bridge. Sally Jo was able to travel to South Korea in 2016 and meet with the Korean Voice Of The Martyrs, who regularly send balloons, with Bibles and messages of hope, across the DMZ and into North Korea. Their dedication, faith, and courage inspired Sally Jo to write the children's book HANA Crosses the Freedom Bridge. Sally Jo hopes that her books will help to educate young people about the inhumane acts that the North Korean people have to face, and that they would be inspired to join her in praying for the divided nation to be healed by love and become HANA.
