A collection of 7 short stories previously published in Amerasia Journal, Hawaii Ridge, and other literary magazines, presenting a fascinating gallery of unforgettable characters, set in meticulously crafted stories of war, displacement, discrimination, and reconciliation: Moonbay, brazenly evil as original sin, yet tied inextricably to the fabric of society itself; the Tiger Cub, lucky survivor of insane wartime violence, who is bent on doing good but becomes an unwitting pawn of fate; the Christ-like Gardener, whose lack of fingers marks his destiny as a healer and martyr; the third-generation Korean American officer who undestands and accepts his racist baiter, Private George McDuff; the guilt-wrenched Korean American professor whose cynical affair with a white student leads to his wife's death; the Vietcong and Korean American soldiers, locked in mortal faceoff, who back away, recognizing mutual humanity.
