The Seed of Joy - Paperback
by William Amos (Author)
Paul Harkin, a US Peace Corps Volunteer from Indiana, comes to Korea on his first trip away from home. The Peace Corps gives him more than he ever bargained for - from a comically inept public health official, to violent political strife in the cities, to a hard winter in a leper colony. But when he falls in love with Han Mi Jin, a troubled, politically active schoolteacher, he defies the Peace Corps, the United States government, and the Korean martial law authorities to take up her cause. Caught up in the bloodshed of the Kwangju Uprising of May, 1980, he wrestles with love and loss, freedom and responsibility.
William Amos was born and raised in Madison, Wisconsin, where he graduated from the University of Wisconsin. After college, he joined the US Peace Corps and served in South Korea from 1979 to 1980. Upon his return, he earned a law degree from Loyola University of Chicago. He currently lives and writes in Boise, Idaho.
