Over the course of her life, Lee, her parents, and her husband would suffer many hardships. Her memoir, ''Quiet Odyssey'', was published in 1990. It is noted for being one of the few memoirs by an Asian American woman, and the only memoir by a Korean American woman that covers the majority of the twentieth century. She provides an important cultural viewpoint on the last century, from the perspective of one of America's first Korean pioneers. Provided by Wikipedia
