A fortuitous encounter at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial; a father-and-son outing that echoes a childhood trauma; a harrowing haunting finally laid to rest; two young brothers at their innocent play; the recovery of a lost family keepsake; Grandma sharing a fairy tale with her granddaughter. These captured moments, ordinary though they may seem, reveal the blessings of love and hope in the course of everyday life.

Endearing Short Stories
Revisado: 04-17-21
I was fortunate. As an 19 year old in 1974 I joined the United States Army and trained to become a Green Beret. It was too late to be sent to Vietnam. After a long, bloody and controversial conflict we had already abandoned them. I have often wondered of how my life would of been different if I had been sent.
The author references the Green Berets in this book but it is not about them that he writes about. He writes of the survivors. I found his short stories heartbreaking. I cried. The Parents, sibling, wives and children of those who fought. The author manages to emotionally bind us with the survivors and find hope that a life can go on despite the loss of family and homeland.
I listened to the Audible version and very much enjoyed the skill of the narrators.
My only criticism of the book is that there is not enough stories and hope for a second longer edition.
