The final book in the series Tina Canfield, the 17-year old daughter of William and Liesl (Tannenhower) Canfield and three men fighting in Vietnam: Travis Jackson, the son of Andrew Jackson who died in Korea, Lieutenant Colonel Bill Garrison and Chief Warrant Officer Bob Parker.
Tina has run away from home to San Francisco and is living with her hippy friends. Her parents have offered a large reward for her return, but she is living using the alias Tulip Spring and is successful in avoiding being caught. Around the time of Bobby Kennedys assassination some things happen that make her change her mind about the choices she has been making.
In Vietnam, Bill Garrison has become a POW and Travis Jackson finds that he is accepted for who he is as a soldier.
The majority of the storyline follows Chief Warrant Officer Bob Parker, He has recently remarried but since his marriage his new wife is refusing to have sex with him. Not that he could have sex with her while in Vietnam. He continues his endeavors to be a successful writer and stay alive while fighting the North Vietnamese and the crazy rules of the Army.
I had a hard time finishing the series. The introduction of Tina Canfield as a hippie seemed almost useless. Its been clear for the last several books that the author wants to focus on Bob Parker. While Bob Parkers Vietnam story is compelling, his discord with his wife makes absolutely no sense. She just became this cold, uncaring biddy.
