This is the story of a Vietnam veteran haunted by PTSD who finds an unexpected chance at healing when his family sponsors a young Vietnamese refugee. Their love story unfolds against the backdrop of rural Kansas and suburban California, but the enduring scars of war-and an Agent Orange–related illness-threaten to tear them apart. A poignant exploration of love, loss, and sacrifice, it reveals that some bonds are strong enough to withstand even the most profound silence and the most significant distance.
