Women's Fiction Historical
Nettie and Andy have been soul mates since the sandbox days. While planning their wedding, Andy deploys to South Vietnam for a year. Unable to quell her anxiety about Andy, Nettie dives into her work as a nursing intern in the emergency room. She inadvertently walks in on a nursing supervisor and surgeon during a late-night tryst in the shadowy recesses of the hospital. The vengeful lovers initiate a campaign to discredit Nettie and sabotage her internship. In Southeast Asia, Andy is leading a reconnaissance squad when he receives orders to escort a high-ranking female freedom fighter, Bien, to a clandestine meeting with an enemy officer who wants to defect. Raped, beaten, and left for dead by North Vietnamese soldiers, Bien is suspicious of the enemy officer’s motives. But something tells her he may be the long-lost brother that her attackers conscripted into their army as a child. Andy believes his unit is walking into a trap that could cost him everything. Struggling to survive in different worlds, Nettie and Andy navigate the best and worst of human nature as they try to find their way back to each other.
