"Few novels present Vietnam so thoroughly and completely with its aftershocks. A story of great courage and tremendous power."
- Robert Stone author of Dog Soldiers

"Skillfully weaving into her novel a story of romantic love and a suspenseful account of a mother’s effort to remain united with her child, Cheryl Drake makes a compelling memorable debut."
- Frederick Busch

"This universal story of love and loss and the longing for connection is played out brilliantly against the Vietnam War and its aftermath–and, moreover, through a woman’s eyes, which gives the work an even wider resonance. This is impressive work indeed by a fine new writer."
- Robert Olen Butler author of A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain
