Haunted by a horrible memory from the war, alone since his grown children moved out, Vietnam
vet Charles Boatman returns to Vietnam after the war.

Ada and her brother, Jon, follow their missing father to Vietnam. Their search for him tears them
apart in ways they never could have guessed, and Vietnam finds its way in. Shifting between
Charles's and Ada's points of view, their journeys become increasingly colorful and complex.
The suspense builds, dreamlike, to a paradoxical climax of revelation and obfuscation, love and
grief.

This is a hauntingly beautiful story of family ties and human longing by the prize-winning, critically
acclaimed Canadian author David Bergen.
