Abandoned by their American GI fathers and Korean mothers, four young boys live under a bridge as a family with Matthew, the oldest, serving as the father. Sam, an American soldier invites them to the Christmas party on the base, where the boys begin a new life. Sam and his wife adopt Matthew who continues to worry about all those left behind. An inspiring story of self-reliance, compassion and moral courage in the face of daunting odds, this book deals with racial prejudice, abandonment and the responsibility of being a father to a family.
