Such a beautiful story of fathers and sons and their relationships in a time of war, as well as the darkness that war and pain leave behind in many people. John Hart captures the souls of men and is such an amazing writer! He is one of the few male authors that are a must read author for me.

This book follows the lives of a cop father and his three sons during Vietnam. It also weaves in such unforgettable supporting characters of that time - friends, girlfriends, police partners. And in the darkness, there are men from a very mentally disturbed background in prison with reach to the outside world through others that will leave your jaw on the floor. I won’t soon be forgetting this book or it’s characters. Even in the darkest of times, John allows us to see the humanity in everyone.


Thank you for such a heart-wrenching, disturbing and touching story. Make sure to pick this one up!
