Going Home: A Walk Through Fifty Years of Occupation

When Ronnie McIlroy volunteers to spend twelve months nursing in a South Vietnamese hospital, she's ill-prepared for a poverty-stricken country at war. Neither weak nor faint-hearted, she's way out of her comfort zone. American pilot, Joseph Hunter Jr, is on his second tour of duty. With an outstanding flying record and a cool head, he'll take an Iroquois anywhere he's needed. When he meets an attractive young New Zealand nurse at the officers' club, he knows the odds are stacked against a relationship. As Ronnie and Joe navigate the constant dangers of living and working in a war zone, it's clear fate has decided their time and place to fall in love is now. But will one naive act of compassion destroy any chance of a life together? Will either of them Vietnam alive?--Back cover.
