September 26, 2004: Yellow Hair and Blue Eyes is one of those rare novels that will make you laugh and cry at the same time. G.L. Mason guides readers down a heart wrenching path of a small Korean Orphan that will touch your soul. The story begins with Lee Parks, a young executive who is living in Korea and traveling on a city bus to a new job. Along the way he spies a basket placed in the middle of the road and convinces an indifferent bus driver to stop so he can retrieve it. Lee is aware that in this poverty stricken country that girl babies are often left to die in this manner and he is not surprised when he finds a small baby inside. Unsure of what to do with his newly acquired cargo he is told by another passenger about a hospital that might take the baby. With a strong sense of guilt Lee leaves the child at the hospital and this begins the tortured life of the half-breed girl, Soo-Jin. The girl has two strikes against her from the beginning, first she is an orphan and second she is half Korean and half Japanese. With these two obstacles weighing around her neck the girl learns the meaning of pain, hunger and suffering early on in her life. But it seems that no matter how many obstacles are placed in the young child?s path she always finds a way to endure. Soo-Jin is thrust into the evil world of Yi Shoo, an evil nanny at the orphanage she is placed in. The child is subject to inhuman treatment and her only salvation is Uni Choi, the daughter of a kind wealthy man, Han Choi who purchases the orphanage. The trials and tribulations of this small forgotten angel create an unforgettable story of hope and dismay. The courage of this girl is spellbinding as she fights to survive in the hell she is forced to live in clinging to the hope that one day she will be adopted by an American with Yellow hair and Blue eyes. G.L. Mason is one of those unique storytellers that are able to invade the imagination and hearts of their readers. Mason?s talents have no boundaries and I was given a rare entrance into the mind of a brilliant writer. I recommend that everyone take the opportunity to read this treasure and allow themselves to delve into the bittersweet emotions that this story invokes. Thank you, Mason, for sharing with me your unique gifts in an unforgettable story that has truly touched my heart. I look forward to reading many more of your creative novels.
