“We are fighting a war with no front lines, since the
enemy hides among the people, in the jungles and mountains, and uses covertly
border areas of neutral countries. One cannot measure our progress by lines on
a map.”
—General William C. Westmoreland.
Vietnam
– the name of a country that still evokes strong emotions even forty-seven
years after our troops left that region. For far too many people, the memories
of their time there are as fresh today as they were when they were fighting in
those jungles. Back home, families not only had to contend with the horrific
images on nightly news reports, but also the hatred generated by the anti-war
protestors.
Tish
says goodbye to her long-time boyfriend, Steve, hoping and praying she will see
him when his thirteen months in country are over. When she’s told he’s MIA,
status unknown, her world shatters. But she never gives up on him, and always
believes they will one day reunite…

Excerpt
Dear
Steve, I can’t say this out loud. If I do, I might start crying, and I don’t
want your last sight of me for the next thirteen months to be of tears. I also
don’t want you to go, but I understand that you must. Keep your head down,
darling. Love you always and forever, Tish.

We
don’t speak for most of the ride. I can’t help myself. My birthday is coming up
soon but I don’t feel happy to be turning eighteen. Instead, I’m ready to cry
for the rest of my life, or the thirteen months my guy, Steve Mason, is in
Vietnam.
About K.C.
Sprayberry
“I have a secret… a very special
secret. Perhaps you’ve heard this one before… from the time I was a child, I
wanted to write stories for people to read.” K.C. Sprayberry
Former California
native, K.C. Sprayberry, traveled the U.S. and Europe before finally settling
in the mountains of Northwest Georgia. She’s been married to her soulmate for more
than a quarter of a century and they enjoy spoiling their grandchildren along
with many other activities.
Inspiration
strikes at the weirdest times and drives her to grab notebook and pen to jot
down her ideas. Those close to her swear nothing or no one is safe if she’s
smiling gently in a corner and watching those in the same room interact. Her
observations have often given her ideas for her next story, set not only in the
South but wherever the characters demand they settle.
