What people are saying.

  • "Gut-wrenching in its honesty about the complexity of relationships; horrifying in its tale of torture; inspiring in its portrayal of integrity and love of country in spite of unspeakable circumstances; sweet in its depiction of a young girl’s relationship with her father and her family; respectful in the face of rejection; remarkable in showing the resilience of the author and the resilience of her father: I could not put this down. EVERYONE should read this book. Well done! And now, I will wait for someone to make a movie about this!"

    C. Kennedy

  • "This book addresses the unique difficulty, endurance, and relationships that challenges the author, her family, and faith prior to, during, and following her Navy pilot father's lengthy POW imprisonment in North Vietnam. It is beautifully written, bluntly open, and very inspirational. The writing is smooth and maintains one's interest. I highly recommend this book for all who want evidence of the strength and beauty of hope and the positive attitude necessary for dealing with hardship. It is a must read for those interested Vietnam War history."
