Korean adoptees (KADs) can be a bridge to the Black Lives Matter movement. The Black Lives Matter movement is intended to highlight that in the US Government and in its criminal justice system, Black lives are valued less than white lives. Even though Black Lives Matter is about the Black community, Yi Woo Ae, a Korean adoptee, establishes that our lives are connected as minorities, and even intertwined. KADs, being both white adjacent and Asian, can talk with whites, Asians, and others in a way that supports the movement.
This book is divided into three parts: profiles, background history, and a how-to. Korean adoptee, Yi Woo Ae, also added a call to action. She first points out how the relationship between Blacks and Korean adoptees is better than what we see in the media, if it’s in the media at all. The author advocates for the inclusion of adoption-based and race-based trauma into the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). She shares the importance of acknowledging that trauma, as defined in the DSM, is not currently all-inclusive. Whether we believe we chose our present life or not, we are the bridge between worlds. As a Korean adoptee (or Asian adoptee), we can support the Black Lives Matter movement.

​Do you believe in destiny? Destiny, meaning the universe has everything planned out for you? That everything is predetermined and predestined right from our birth? Times when you come across events that seem too strange or too strong to be mere coincidence? There are times when coincidences are so powerful that they don’t really seem like coincidences anymore. Like our life is a series of random accidents or coincidences that are leading us to a predestined path.
This book is a companion to the movie Red Thread of Fate, a store that is interracial, long-distance, and has an age gap. It is filled with romance, tragedies, and conflicting emotions of having two loves.
The main character, Zarah, is already in a relationship, but someone else comes along who can change everything. Will she let go of her current relationship and take the chance on someone new? Are twin souls the person we marry, the person we learn from, or both? Can she change her fate or is it too late?
