In Country

In the summer of 1984, Sam Hughes grapples with the legacy of the Vietnam War, deeply affected by her father's death before she was born. Staring at a faded photo of him, she reflects on lost time and the burdens of silence carried by those who survived, questioning their feelings of shame and embarrassment. As she navigates her personal connection to the past, her musings reveal profound insights into memory, loss, and the impact of war on families. This edition also includes additional content such as author interviews and recommended readings.
