From the Inside Flap
THE PHOTOGRAPHER By Joe Porcelli The Korean War has been called America's "forgotten war;" it was officially termed a "police action." A young Korean boy, the central character in this compelling first novel, sees his family killed in the war. Only his older brother lives to help him survive the war; then the brothers are separated. adopted by an American officer, the orphaned Korean child is brought to America; his only possession is a photograph of himself, his brother and his mother. He grows to manhood in Charleston, South Carolina, where he discovers Southern hospitality and racial prejudice--and love. Following his graduation from a military college, he enters the United States Army where he eventually becomes part of a special unit which is sent into combat in Vietnam. there, he is able to purge the nightmares which have haunted him for years and to discover the true meaning of the photograph. Back Flap Copy Joe Porcelli came to the United States from Korea in 1954 and grew up in South Carolina and The Citadel. He was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army in 1970, with the rank of captain. At various times he has been employed as a merchant marine, professional diver, marine contractor, soldier of fortune in Africa and South America. He now resided in Charleston, South Carolina with his wife and four children, where he is working on his next novel.

" I see fire," the old woman rasped, her face creasing into masses of deep wrinkles as she stared at the boy.
