A “moving and captivating” (Cathy Park Hong, New York Times bestselling author of Minor Feelings) novel following a Korean immigrant pursuing the American dream who must confront the secrets of the past or risk watching the world he’s worked so hard to build come crumbling down. Dr. Yungman Kwak is in the twilight of his life. Every day for the last fifty years, he has brushed his teeth, slipped on his shoes, and headed to Horse Breath’s General Hospital, where, as an obstetrician, he treats the women and babies of the small rural Minnesota town he chose to call home. This was the life he longed for. The so-called American dream. He immigrated from Korea after the Korean War, forced to leave his family, ancestors, village, and all that he knew behind. But his life is built on a lie. And one day, a letter arrives that threatens to expose it. Yungman’s life is thrown into chaos—the hospital abruptly closes, his wife refuses to spend time with him, and his son is busy investing in a struggling health start-up. Yungman faces a choice—he must choose to hide his secret from his family and friends or confess and potentially lose all he’s built. He begins to question the very assumptions on which his life is built—the so-called American dream, with the abject failure of its healthcare system, patients and neighbors who perpetuate racism, a town flawed with infrastructure, and a history that doesn’t see him in it. Toggling between the past and the present, Korea and America, Evening Hero is a “soulful, melodic, rhapsodic novel” (The New York Times) about a man looking back at his life and asking big questions about what is lost and what is gained when immigrants leave home for new shores.

The year is 1814, the final year of the War of 1812. With the Atlantic Seaboard closed by the British blockade, Isaasc Biggs, Jack Clements, and Jake Tate, fresh from their harrowing adventures in Canada, find berths with Joshua Barney's gunboat Flotilla on the Chesapeake Bay. These swift, shallow-draft little vessels are a thorn in the side of the British fleet and the British command is determined to destroy them. Chased up the Patuxent River by the British, the flotilla finds an uneasy refuge in Benedict, MD, where Isaac falls heavily for the daughter of a militia colonel. Then the men of Barney's flotilla are called ashore to help fight the Battle of Bladensburg and assist with the defense of Washington City. Later, they will find themselves in Baltimore, where they witness the bombardment of Fort McHenry in the company of Francis Scott Key. Continuing the saga of A Press of Canvas and A Fine Tops'l Breeze, The Evening Gun is written from the perspective of an American seaman and brings to life the final year of the War of 1812, called the "forgotten war" by many, and the only time our country has been invaded by a foreign power. Seamlessly weaving fictitious characters into an historical narrative peopled with real people make this and the other two volumes of the War of 1812 Trilogy a fun and easy way to learn a bit of American history
