Two daughters search for the truth they hope will set
them free.
It's been forty years since the war,
and John Porter-now a wealthy builder in South Carolina-is
feeling the past nip at his heels. When he relays his
recent terrifying confrontation with "the enemy" from long
ago to his daughter, she takes it upon herself to help him
deal with his scars. Fifty miles north in Georgetown, a
fry cook named Lisa Le is trying desperately to connect
with her Vietnamese mother. But secrets from the past
stand between them, and Lisa is unsure how to proceed.
Each of these souls is a captive in his or her own little
world . . . until a modern-day land mine sets off a string
of events to unite them all.
A Hundred Years of
Happiness is a story of family, war, loss and longing,
and the transforming power of truth. The distance between
children and parents, past and present, reality and
deception narrows in this spiritual fable of life after
war.
