Toil Under the Sun is a powerful novel of an adopted boy’s growth into
manhood as a U.S. Marine during the “Forgotten War” in Korea. It is an intricately crafted account of
friendship and betrayal…fear and courage…shame and atonement…which in
exquisitely written prose explores the hidden rage and abnegation of an adopted
child. Many of the great themes of
literature and of life are woven into this masterful story: love, honor,
respect, courage, guilt, fear, faith, and redemption. And most importantly, the
story is guided throughout by the fundamental belief that our lives have
meaning far beyond our daily toil under the sun.
