Publisher Description

IS THERE A WARNING BEFORE THE MOMENT LIFE SHATTERS INTO PIECES?


In 1968 two young Vietnamese sisters flee to Saigon after their village on the Mekong River is attacked by American forces and burned to the ground. The sole survivors of the brutal massacre that killed their family, the sisters struggle to survive but become estranged, separated by sharply different choices and ideologies.

Mai ekes out a living as a GI bar girl, but Tam’s anger festers, and she heads into jungle terrain to fight with the Viet Cong. For nearly ten years, neither sister knows if the other is alive. Do they both survive the war? And if they do, can they mend their fractured relationship? Or are the wounds from their journeys too deep to heal?

In a stunning departure from her crime thrillers, Libby Fischer Hellmann delves into a universal story about survival, family, and the consequences of war.

A Sensitive Exploration of Two Sisters

This book is outside the murder mysteries that Libby Fischer Hellmann is known. It is a well researched book that examines the life and choices that two sisters (teenage girls) make to survive the ravages of the Vietnam war.
Beautifully written, we are not exposed to judgement of the choices or the consequences Instead we experience each sister’s pain, fear and their eventual reconciliation.
A wonderful book well worth reading.
