      About This Book

      "Other people have fathers every day. Can't I have a little piece of mine?"

      Park can't figure out why his mother refuses to talk about his father who died in Vietnam eleven years ago. Park has no memory of him. . . . But he is determined to find the answers to his questions. When Park's search finally takes him to his grandfather's farm in rural Virginia, he meets obstacles beyond his imagining. Instead of being welcomed as the long lost heir, he is taunted by a young Vietnamese girl. Who is she and what is she doing on the family farm? And will Park be able to accept the ultimate truth he has sought?
