Más información sobre el libro
On March 29, 1973, a C-130 withdrew the last American combat troops from Saigon, but the aftermath of the Vietnam War continued to unfold until Saigon's fall on April 30, 1975. Major Michael Reardon was reported "killed in action, body not recovered" during a bombing mission just days before President Nixon halted the U.S. air offensive in North Vietnam. His death marked the end of hopes for him and his wife, Wynne, who dreamed of a life together in Northwest Florida, where she envisioned owning an art studio, Shoreline Gallery. Author Smith skillfully navigates Wynne's emotional turmoil as she grapples with memories of her late husband while developing a new relationship with Jason Garrison, a talented potter hired to help her gallery thrive. Complicating their bond is Jason's past as a Vietnam War protestor, contrasting sharply with Michael's posthumous Medal of Honor recognition for his bravery. The story explores whether Wynne's fragile relationship with Jason can endure her longing for Michael's return as a P.O.W. Smith effectively captivates readers with this poignant tale, highlighting the healing power of love amidst loss and hope.
