In these three linked novellas, Boatwright explores the lasting effects of the Vietnam War on people living in its shadow—both those who fought and those who didn't. These moving stories from one of American history's most divisive eras show us Vietnam may not be as far behind us as we think. Who goes to war and why—and the consequences for them and the people who love them—are issues that we still face today. Finalist for the Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction and winner of the 2013 Bronze Medal for Literary Fiction from the Independent Book Publisher Awards.
