As a journalist, Paxton Andrews would experience Vietnam firsthand. We follow her from high school in Savannah to college in Berkeley and then to work in Saigon.

For the soldiers she knew and met there, Viet Nam would change their lives in ways they could never have imagined. For the men in her life, Viet Nam would change their lives in ways hey could not escape or deny. Peter Wilson, fresh from law school, was a new recruit who would confont his fate in Da Nang. Ralph Johnson, a seasoned AP correspondent, had been in Saigon since the beginning. He knew Vietnam and the war inside out. Bill Quinn, captain of the Cu Chi tunnel rats, was on his fourth tour of duty and it seemed nothing could touch him. Sergeant Tony Campobello had come to Vietnam from the streets of New York to vent a rage that had followed him all the way to Saigon.

For seven years Paxton Andrews would write an acclaimed newspaper column from the front before finally returning to the States and then attending the Paris peace talks. But for her and the men who fought in Viet Nam, life would never be the same again.

i simply loved this book, it is passionate and involved it has true substance (which I do not always find in Danielle Steele). The characters come alive and you are truly brought into the book. I highly recommend it, to me it was not just another Danielle Steele romance, it has it all.

The fist and only Danielle Steel I will ever read. The married men in this story and their infidelity turned me off to Ms. Steel's other work.

I really enjoyed this book. I was 18 in 1968 and could relate and remember much of what was portrayed in the book. I can still see in my mind the film coverage of the people trying to get out of Saigon when it fell to the communists.
