Lark and Termite

Stated First Edition; SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR on the title page; a fine book in a fine dust jacket. A beautiful copy in as new, unread condition. Not price clipped, not remaindered, not ex-library. In archival protection.
Set during the 1950s in West Virginia and Korea, this is the story of two children--Lark, on the verge of adulthood, and her brother, Termite, a child unable to walk and talk but filled with radiance--who grow up with their mother and aunt while their soldier-father fights for his life during the chaotic early months of the Korean War.
