Summary:

In this memoir, People magazine correspondent Ron Arias recounts his father's emotional distance after spending time as a prisoner of war in World War II and Korea, his eventual disappearance from their home, and Arias's fourteen-year search for him, during which he learned that his father might have been a spy. His father becomes an elusive moving target that he seems to chase throughout his life. Through his extensive research and his job as a reporter of death and destruction, Arias's connection to his parents intensifies and he begins to understand them in a way that he could not when they were alive.
