TOIL UNDER THE SUN: A NOVEL

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.
