Meet the Author

Robert Hirsch was born in Pusan, Korea in 1948. As the Korean War was ending in 1953, his mother sent him at age five to the United States to live with his biological father due to Korea’s harsh wartime conditions of starvation, disease and destruction.

He spent the next thirteen years as a military dependent, traveling all over America and spending three years in France where he attended school at a French lycee. He graduated from Cameron University in Lawton Oklahoma and entered the teaching profession as a French and Social Studies instructor.

He retired after forty years in June of 2012, having served during his career as a teacher, bus driver, assistant principal, Dean of Discipline, principal and superintendent. He resides with his wife, Melissa Ann Hirsch, in Ocean Springs, Mississippi along the Gulf Coast which they have claimed as their home since 1980.

    Highly Recommended! Couldn't put it down....page turner

    This is a very unique story line whereas the author is so detailed, you can actually picture what's transpiring in the book as the pages are turned. I couldn't put the book down even though I had to go to work the next morning. I actually borrowed this book from someone who just purchased it. Loved it so much, I had to have a copy!

    This author is an ingenious writer! Looking forwrad to book number two!
