The Girl In The White Hat

When young Pete Solstad gets shipped off to Korea, compliments of the US Army in the late 1960s, he has no idea that he's about to meet the woman who will direct the course of the rest of his life. Incredibly beautiful and cruelly abandoned by another American serviceman, Miss Kim Chun Cha captures Pete's heart from their very first encounter. Though her behavior is often capricious and erratic, Pete determines to marry despite the objections of the US Army. As Pete goes through the process of adjusting to life in Korea, his relationship with Chun Cha grows and changes. But despite their love and commitment to each other, trouble brews as symptoms of Chun Cha's mental illness become more pronounced. An intimate look into a bicultural marriage set in the context of the US Army, The Girl in the White Hat provides an accurate and important depiction of military life, mental illness, and cross-cultural divides that will fascinate history buffs, expatriates, and men and women who have served in the military.
