Inhaltsangabe

A HINT OF LIGHT is the story of Byung-suk, a black-Korean Amerasian boy orphaned to the streets of Seoul who must make his way through the gutters and back alleys of the marketplace, in and out of whorehouses and hotels, and protect Miya, a young, half-white Korean girl who is mute. Trapped in their own skins because of their color, these children are foreigners in their own land with no identity and no escape. A HINT OF LIGHT is a dramatic view of the streets through the eyes of its inhabitants and exposes the underbelly of racism that permeates Asian and American societies. Yet these children never lose hope or give up on their dreams as they discover their talent for languages and take advantage of adversity to turn it into good fortune in their search of their fathers.
