Richard receives his first letter from the government, a letter that changes his life. A letter that requires him to put his life on the line for his country. Turning eighteen during the Vietnam War means Richard is forced to serve when his number is called in the lottery. Leaving his alcoholic mother and his love, he tries to survive in Vietnam among old and new friends.
Race and memory feature prominently. Racial lines still run deep even when among those serving on the same side. Memories of the past shadow the present. Richard has to navigate the racial tensions and the moral issues of participating in a war one doesn't believe in. Dennis Reed's novel provides looks at the war through a new lens and is an engrossing read throughout.
