"Potok writes powerfully about the suffering of innocent people
caught in the cross-fire of a war they cannot begin to
understand....Humanity and compassion for his characters leap from
every page."
SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
As the Chinese and the army of the North sweep south during the
Korean War, an old peasant farmer and his wife flee their village
across the bleak, bombed-out landscape. They soon come upon a boy
in a ditch who is wounded and unconscious. Stirred by
possessiveness and caring the woman refuses to leave the boy
behind. The man thinks she is crazy to nurse this boy, to risk
their lives for some dying stranger. Angry and bewildered, he waits
for the boy to die. And when the boy does not die, the old man
begins to believe that the boy possesss a magic upon which all
their lives depend....
