BLURB:
James, a middle-aged, is given to one-night flings with younger men in whom he searches for something he lost long ago. A random comment by his latest catch draws his mind back to the past, to a boy he once loved so fiercely, a boy drafted and sent to fight in Vietnam.
A boy lost in the war. A boy James has never forgotten.
REVIEW:
Though it’s partly due to my age, this book has perhaps the highest TPP (Tears per Page) rating of any book I’ve ever read. I was reminded of this during this years Memorial Day Holiday and I should have reviewed it prior to then but it’s really just as effective at any time of the year for those that lived through this period.
The first time I read this was a few years back. I was eating alone in a restaurant and brought my kindle in so I’d have something to read during the meal. The waitress left me a menu and went to get my drink and I, already knowing what I wanted, opened this book and started to read. When the big haired southern waitress got back with my soda, she touched my shoulder and asked “Sweetie what’s the matter?” I hadn’t realized it but tears had been streaming down my face. Though I covered quickly, I postponed reading the rest until I was in private.
If you’re of an age to remember Vietnam era POW/MIA bracelets, then this is a tale you’ll be glad you read. But beware, tears will be shed.
RATING: 
(and 3 hankies)
