For all that, he's \u003cbr\u003e an enterprising immigrant who works hard as a machinist, saves his money \u003cbr\u003e and cherishes friendship and family. He believes in America the Melting \u003cbr\u003e Pot, fair play and freedom. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn a wintry night in Cincinnati in 1935, his world turns ugly. This \u003cbr\u003e gentle man (unless provoked) who bears no ill will finds himself wanted \u003cbr\u003e by the police, boxed in by circumstances beyond his control. A friend \u003cbr\u003e who could provide an alibi betrays him in his hour of need. Fearing the \u003cbr\u003e authorities, he becomes a man on the run. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut this stranger who speaks broken English doesn't know how to behave \u003cbr\u003e like a fugitive. When he lands in Trump, a tiny town on the \u003cbr\u003e Maryland-West Virginia border, he draws attention with his Hollywood \u003cbr\u003e good looks, strong work ethic and zest for life -- in short, by \u003cbr\u003e being Fee, by being himself. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite his problems, and with little regard for himself -- some \u003cbr\u003e consider him simply a fool -- he enriches those he meets in subtle and \u003cbr\u003e not-so-subtle ways as he confronts racism, physical and sexual abuse, \u003cbr\u003e and the artificial boundaries placed on the human spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e D.
