From the Back Cover
In search of love and absolution, Charles Boatman leaves for Vietnam, the country where he had fought 29 years earlier as a young, reluctant soldier. When he disappears, his daughter, Ada, and her brother, Jon, travel to the streets of Da Nang and beyond.
Their quest takes them into the heart of a country at once incomprehensible, impassive, and beautiful. While Jon slips into the urban nightlife to avoid what he most fears, Ada finds herself growing closer to her missing father -- and strong enough to forgive him and bear the heartbreaking truth of his long-kept secret. The dual narration by Michael Hogan and Tricia Collins gives breathtaking immediacy to this affecting novel.
