And, in third place, Lois Jee-In Yoo's "The Universal Treatment," which is a beautiful story of a young girl's struggle to cope with her grandmother who is suffering from Alzheimer's Disease.All of the stories, including the runners-up, offer insight into Korean culture. They are written by Koreans of all ages who were given the freedom to write whatever they wanted, and these are the stories they chose to share. These stories are all original works by the individual authors.
