Her father was an American serviceman, her mother a young Korean woman confused by the ravages of war. Abandoned at age four, nameless, homeless, and utterly alone, this child roamed the bleak, war-ravaged countryside of South Korea for three years and was finally left for dead. But the Creator had other plans and revealed them through the words, "She Is Mine."

Every life faces challenges, with some a lot more painful, and even in some cases incomprehensible. Such is the case with Stephanie Fast’s early life. After being deserted by her mother when she was just four or five years old, she was left helpless and vulnerable, nearly succumbing to a premature death. Unlike many destitute children in her situation, Stephanie refused to give up. She sensed she had a higher purpose, and fought with every ounce of her being, through hardship after hardship, just so she could survive.

Though Stephanie’s story takes place during the Korean War, her struggle is timeless. Every day, thousands of human beings around the world either abandon their children, or have their children kidnapped from them. Many of these abandoned children are left to live their lives in extreme poverty on the street, usually facing an early death, and the kidnapped others are often sold into the global sex trade to live their lives as slaves for the wealthy.

Stephanie is truly a bright light who shines out of the depths of this kind of hell. She persevered against all odds so that she could tell the searing truth of her story and of the collective orphan experience, to be the “witness” to a reality to which many of us would prefer to turn a blind eye.

Today Stephanie is widely known for her inspirational speeches. Her candor, warmth and honesty in the face of what she endured moves audiences to tears. But what moves them the most is her determination to become part of the solution and show them how they can too!

Ultimately, Stephanie Fast is a believer in the essential goodness of human nature: many loving souls came to her rescue, and for her this created a mandate to rally caring souls to join her in rescuing other children.

Stephanie’s story, as told in She is Mine, will help make the orphan epidemic real for each reader by putting a human face on this growing horror, and by showing us a way out of the darkness into the light.

I started reading this book and couldn’t put it down until I had finished reading it entirely. It brought tears to my eyes at times. When I learned the reason for the title, it made my heart swell. I would love to hear the rest of her story, after she was adopted.

I saw Stephanie speak at an event in Alabama. Powerful!!!!!!! I was very compelled to get her book. The book is very simply written and is also great for youth readers. This is a testimony of how people that serve God can give God a place to touch His people around us by our obedience and love. He wants a vehicle to reach people. I hope that Stephanie continues to write about her story and grace to endure. This book is a clear testament that we can heavily impact our neighbor's life based off our love or hate. This would be a great movie. Stephanie carries God's adoption in her story and heart. Romans 8:15. God actually looks to get right in the middle of our suffering and pain and endures it with us. If you have ever been broken and suffered loss this book can help heal your wounds. Her story is real and proof that God can touch us by His love.

After seeing Stephanie Fast speak at a church camp that I was volunteering at, I was both amazed and inspired. Fast speaks with a voice that is so powerfully influenced by God. After hearing her speak I ordered this book immediately to learn more about her incredible story. I was not disappointed. Once I began reading it, I could not put the book down. I finished it in two days flat. It's a quick and easy read that tells such a powerful and heavy story. I'm not going to lie, it's a heartbreaking story but it conveys so much hope at the same time. I would recommend this book to anyone who is going through struggles in their life that they don't think they can overcome, anyone who wants to read a true testimony of how real and tangibly God can work in our lives, or just anyone who wants to read an inspirational story of how an abandoned war orphan grew up to become a public speaker and advocate that impacts the lives of millions.

I have no idea how I heard about this book, but I cannot shake it from my mind. It was heart-wrenching as well as eye opening into cultural discriminations and injustices. It is amazing to see how God protected the author and used such suffering in her life in such profound ways, even ministering to those reading this book.

My ladies book reading group enjoyed this biography tremendously. We could never stop at just one chapter a week, and often read three or four chapters at a time. The authors story is a heartbreaking one we don't often hear about, the American/Korean children who were shunned by their entire country of birth. We all give this book a ten star rating and are passing on our copies to others to read!

Opens our eyes to closed cultures (cultures that discourage interracial marriage).

We forget we have been formed from the dirt and breathed into by God. We have one set of parents and we are all family.

Every life is precious and the extraordinary support God sends to Stephanie at critical junctures illustrates His careful watch over us.

I hear you say, not all these children live. You have the wrong view.

They all live. And when they breathe their last, He is there to receive them and we must weep because the world is now bereft of the gifts He placed inside each one for us to experience.

Open your eyes my friend...

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing outcome to a very sad beginning
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 17, 2019

Such a moving account of a young child's early years after being reluctantly abandoned by her mother because she was born as a result of an American GI taking advantage of a young Korean woman. Such sad atrocities occurred during this young child's life in her fight for survival. An horrifying account of her early years and struggles just to find food, warmth or shelter. But, rescued by an American couple, adopted and taken to the USA to live a very different life from the one she knew.. it bought tears to my eyes at the end both for her happy outcome and also for the millions of young children orphaned for whatever reason, abused and neglected, having to fight for every day survival.
Well written and well worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heartbreaking and haunting
Reviewed in Germany on May 3, 2016

A heartbreaking story, simply told - and in its simplicity and straightforwardness it affected the reader so much more. I found it difficult to understand how people, out of superstition or a weird honour-bound tradition, could be so cruel to a small child, even in the aftermath of the Korean War.
This book put me through a variety of feelings, sadness and anger among them most of the time - if the story does that to me, how much worse must it have been for that child, in the 1950ies?
This book will haunt me for a long time, and I pay my respect to the author for choosing to share her story with us - thank you.
