Kindess of Strangers
One of the recurring things we hope to have in the book is a series of vignettes called “The Kindness of Strangers” in which we briefly recount those moments at which Koreans came in and helped us out of tough situations.
Example – when my (then) fiancee fell in Daejeon and fractured her elbow and middle-aged man and two business students swooped in, helped her get into a cab, and gave the cab driver detailed descriptions of which hospital to take us to.
As usual, we’re not promising riches (though we are working on it) rather a publication credit in a real book, in two real languages, with a real ISBN. You know, suitable for making your mom happy when she’s trying to explain to her friends back home exactly what you are doing in Korea.^^

Hello:
I hope this email finds you well. How long do you want the “Kindness of Strangers” pieces to be? Are you still accepting submissions?
All the best,
Brooke.
Brooke,
Under 200 words or so…. but if it requires more it might become larger. We will be partly driven by what we receive. ^^
