During the Vietnam War, there was a young girl who wondered what the jungle hid. Lotus Tran grew up in Qui Nhon, and she imagined that the flashing lights she often saw in the sky were dragons fighting each other. When she went into the jungle to seek food and shelter, she thought it would be a paradise, with dragons resting from battle and food lying around. Her dreams were shattered when she saw the reality of the war. Wild animals, land mines, and booby traps were the least of her concerns. She witnessed battles between the South Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong or the North Vietnamese Army, and was almost killed by a sniper. She was shot at, nearly gunned down, almost was blown up, and came close to being captured. Instead of a tranquil site, she found a place of death and destruction where her next step could be her last. On My Own shares Tran's life experiences, recalling village life as her people tried to live normally in the midst of battle. She remembers the pain that she felt as she watched villagers die in front of her in Vietnam and at sea, as she and her people fled the country. This memoir demonstrates what the Vietnam War did to the Tran's family, her people, and her country.

IS THERE A WARNING BEFORE THE MOMENT LIFE SHATTERS INTO PIECES? In 1968 two young Vietnamese sisters flee to Saigon after their village on the Mekong River is attacked by American forces and burned to the ground. The sole survivors of the brutal massacre that killed their family, the sisters struggle to survive but become estranged, separated by sharply different choices and ideologies. Mai ekes out a living as a GI bar girl, but Tam’s anger festers, and she heads into jungle terrain to fight with the Viet Cong. For nearly ten years, neither sister knows if the other is alive. Do they both survive the war? And if they do, can they mend their fractured relationship? Or are the wounds from their journeys too deep to heal? In a stunning departure from her crime thrillers, Libby Fischer Hellmann delves into a universal story about survival, family, and the consequences of war.

On a 1968 afternoon, Len Rugh opens a letter he'd hoped never to receive. Although he's been married less than two years and his twenty-third birthday is just days away, Len is ordered to report to the induction center in Los Angeles. Somehow, he's been drafted, and soon, he's in Vietnam. Although he's fighting in a war he never asked to join, Len suffers a severe head wound. No one thinks he'll survive, but he does, and he returns home to his loving wife, Luanna. Once back home, he learns to talk, walk, be self-sufficient and even graduates from college. But nightmares of the war still haunt Len. Years later, seeking closure, he visits the Vietnam War Memorial to pay tribute to his brothers who died. But for some reason, none of their names are listed. Now, Len must find out if the fate of his comrades is how he remembers, or if something else happened altogether. Get ready to go on a journey where being true to love is just as important as being true to your country, where secrets that linger are meant to be uncovered, and where in times of uncertainty, it's important to remember Promises Kept.

By the time he had reached middle age, Max Cleland thought he had nothing to live for. Vietnam had left him a triple amputee. He had lost his seat in the U.S. Senate, and in the grip of depression he had lost his fiancée, too. But instead of giving up, Cleland discovered that he has what it takes to survive: the heart of a patriot. Doctors did not give Cleland much hope when he returned from Vietnam, but he overcame his despair through his bonds with other wounded soldiers. Against all odds, he realized his dream of becoming a Senator. But after being smeared as unpatriotic in a reelection campaign, a long-dormant case of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder sent him back to Walter Reed Hospital. Surrounded by the veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, Cleland again found the faith and endurance to regain control of his life. In a gut-wrenching memoir that is free of bitterness but frank about the costs of being a soldier, Max Cleland describes with love the ties America’s soldiers forge with one another, along with the disillusionment many of them experience when they come home. Heart of a Patriot is a story about the joy of serving the country you love, no matter the cost—and how to recover from the deepest wounds of war.
