Book Synopsis
As the young wife of a USAF pilot, the author is not authorized to accompany her husband when he receives orders for Vietnam. She decides to go anyway, on her own, and ends up in the country before her husband.Join her, as she arrives alone, the day after a coup, and in the middle of a cholera epidemic. Accompany her through her fears, challenges, and joys, as she taps into a hidden western culture that seems to flow as an undercurrent beneath the noise and clamor of an over-populated city. You also will witness her interaction with the Vietnamese people, and learn how she developed such a great affection for them and their country. It is the author’s hope that the reader will develop a similar fondness for this lovely country and its beautiful and gentle people, as they travel vicariously with her.
The author, DORIS GRACY, with an M.S. in Microbiology, has enjoyed a long professional career in the laboratory, but she always has maintained a passion for travel and a love for writing.
