This study focuses on the recent social phenomenon of the "kirogi," which means wild goose in Korean. This word also refers to a multinational household in which the mother has moved overseas for the children's education while the father lives alone in Korea to support his family economically. I investigate the narratives of kirogi mothers in Hawai'i. My analysis attends to how kirogi status influences the mothers' different identities as women in a transnational space. How the mothers construct their stories and redefine themselves and others is tightly related to the larger discourses around them. I find that being kirogi is not only a matter of choice in life, but can also be a vehicle for a powerful life in transformation. The mothers' narratives show degrees of transformation as they recall, recount, and reflect upon their lives. (Contains 6 excerpts.)
