What is Hearts of the morning calm : an Amerasian love story about?

The Asian and Western worlds are as dissimilar as silk and leather. Still, the Heart is a capricious tailor, mindlessly matching and stitching fabric of its choosing and always, heedless of direction, danger, or damage. Hearts of the Morning Calm--an Amerasian love story--is set in mountainously beautiful South Korea. The novel traces the journey of an American man and an Asian woman who stumble upon one another, discover they share few similarities, fall quite unexpectedly in love, and struggle with cultural, practical, and personal difficulties as their willful hearts lead them to an impossible situation. The Novel opens on a December evening in 1998 along the rocky, fog shrouded, Oregon coast. Above the breakers sits a darkened Victorian house. In an upstairs bedroom, an emaciated man lies dying. He holds a yellow-edged photograph of a young Asian woman. His oldest friend sits nearby. Their discussion of the woman transitions the scene to 1978 and Seoul, Korea. There, happenstance introduces an American man to an Asian woman. Their brief encounter initiates an emotional journey that ends twenty years later in the coastal gloom of an Oregon night. In the summer of 1978, Jason Fit
