"We know that the past can't be remedied. The best we can do is learn from it and not repeat it. The most progressive mining of the past is using it to determine what went right and what went wrong and then let go of it. Demons need to be demystified and brought into the light of day." (Beverly Gologorsky, interview)
Most Vietnam War novels focus on the men. This novel focuses on the women (wives, lovers, daughters) the men left behind. After the War ended, and their men returned, how did the women deal with broken men, broken dreams, broken lives?
Author Beverly Gologorsky, who was involved in the 1960s/1970s anti-war and women's movements, explores in her first novel the aftermath of both the Vietnam War and women's liberation.
