A man without a country.
A Truth Nobody Wanted.
A lawsuit that had never been attempted.
Born between countries and erased between families, Ben Choi grew up without a father, without a clear homeland, and without answers. What followed was a life that crossed borders and systems America, Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and finally Korea. While he fought a legal battle that had never existed before: a foreign-born son suing his own father to prove who he was.
Ben Choi crossed continents to prove a single fact. Who his father was and who he was meant to be. Along the way, he began to imagine a future larger than his personal case: the dream of a Korea reunited, as it had been for more than 1,300 years before modern division, and the unlikely path that could one day lead him to run for the presidency of that nation. From airports to embassies, from Russian streets to Korean courtrooms, this autofiction book follows a fight for identity that grows into a vision for a people long separated, and for a man searching not only for his name, but for his place in history.
