Don't Break My Rice Bowl : A beautiful and gripping novel, highlighting the personal and tragic struggles faced during the Vietnam War, bringing the late author and his 'forgotten' manuscript to life

The fragility of life was the late author's parting lesson; however, the words left behind in his manuscript were his ultimate gift. Don't Break My Rice Bowl has been brought to life in 2022 by the late author's daughter, wife and granddaughter. The book includes 24 hand-painted chapter illustrations by Justine Rykiel and a detailed and rich Appendix.
