Named after a composition by Sergei Prokofiev, Fugitive Visions uses the concepts of dissonance and harmony found in music as a metaphor to explore the implications of a life lived between two vastly different cultures. Trenka, a native Korean, was adopted by American parents as a young child and grew up in a predominantly white community. Picking up where her previous memoir, The Language of Blood (Minnesota Historical Society Press, 2003), left off, Fugitive Visions now follows Trenka as she attempts to relocate to her native birth country.
