Summer of '69 Kathy Clark

SUMMER OF '69 Three complete, unabridged novels set twenty years after the Vietnam War about three very different experiences and the adjustments required to survive life after Vietnam. These are stories of love, hope, and recovery by courageous men and women whose paths are destined to cross. KISSED BY AN ANGEL - A plane crash brought them together. Will their memories and fears tear them apart? A pilot who had been shot down in the jungle makes it home and finds a new career as a Blue Angel. His best friend was not so lucky. Did the pilot's brush with death make him feel invincible...or crush him with survivor's guilt?PHANTOM ANGEL - Amnesia took away his past. Can she help him find a future? A man is discovered living as a prisoner of a Vietnam family, deep in the jungle. Amnesia had taken away his memories and had kept him from trying to escape. Can he adapt to life back in the U. S. after losing not just the last 20 years, but also his very identity?ANGEL OF MERCY - She nursed him back to health and they fell in love. But she choose another man to marry. Twenty years ago, an Army nurse made a difficult choice between the man she truly loved and the man who needed her to survive. Now that she is reunited with her past, can she fix a broken heart and heal wounds that are too deep to be seen?Each of the 2,700,000 Americans who fought in the Vietnam War had their own unique experiences and each one's story is different. 10% of that generation went to Vietnam, but 100% were affected. Over 58,000 Americans died or went missing during the Vietnam War. The rest came home to an ungrateful nation. Some had visible injuries, but almost all suffered deep emotional wounds. The lucky ones had friends and families that helped get them through. It took love and patience and the ability to move forward, one step at a time. Regardless of whether or not, Vietnam was a justifiable cause, these warriors deserve our respect and gratitude. Their stories need to be told...and we need to listen, then give them a big hug.
