An emotionally charged story of passionate love, unfulfilled desire, and an American dream gone totally awry, Beverly Gologorsky's poignant, unadorned novel lays bare the destructive impact of the Vietnam War on the wives, lovers, and children of veterans. This haunting story of devotion and loss will speak to anyone who has suffered the effects of an unwinnable war.

Press Reviews

New York Times Book Review
Stunning. . . . Lean and supple, completely persuasive, full of nuanced turns, dead on about how people try to bind and repel each other at the same time.

USA Today
Evocative. . . . [A] powerful tale. . . . The characters stick with you.

Booklist
Haunting. . . . A novel brimming with burning emotion.
