- Advance Praise for Lily's Ghost:
"Few novels present Vietnam so thoroughly and completely with its aftershocks. A story of great courage and tremendous power."
"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." |
