When Annie Jacobson's brother Mike enlists as a medic in the
Army in 1967, he hands her a piece of paper with the address
of their long-estranged father. If anything should happen to
him in Vietnam, Mike says, Annie must let their father know.
In Mike's absence, their father returns to face tragedy at
home, adding an extra measure of complication to an already
tense time. As they work toward healing and pray fervently
for Mike's safety overseas, letter by letter the Jacobsons
must find a way to pull together as a family, regardless of
past hurts. In the tumult of this time, Annie and her family
grapple with the tension of holding both hope and grief in
the same hand, even as they learn to turn to the One who
binds the wounds of the brokenhearted.
Author Susie Finkbeiner invites you into the Jacobson
family's home and hearts during a time in which the chaos of
the outside world touched their small community in ways they
never imagined.
