Conflict on the battlefield and in the newsroom. A feisty female journalist and a stoic hero. Can their love survive the tragedy of the Vietnam War? Journalist Chris McKenna would do anything to cover the Vietnam War. If there's one thing she knows, it's that she was born to tell this story. Chris rolls into South Vietnam intent on sniffing out the overlooked stories of America's most unpopular war. Much to the dismay of the military establishment, she hops a Huey to a remote base in the Mekong Delta and hits the motherlode. A mission both tactically and strategically questionable. Inept junior officers more concerned about image than protecting the troops they lead. A platoon of grunts taking fire from all sides. A stoic soldier powerless against the woman keen on breaking through his defenses. John Rawlins rues the day he met Chris. The last thing he wants to be is a story, but Chris has glory in mind for the quiet, heroic soldier who simply wants to make it home alive. He figures she won't last long. Journalists never do. He couldn't be more wrong. Through jungle patrols and firefights, amidst the chaos and the comedy that is the war in Vietnam, Chris earns the respect and affection of a squad of men who have nothing to lose by telling it like it is. But as the pressure from her editor mounts, as journalistic competition descends on the Delta, as Chris reckons with the consequences of the choices that led her to Vietnam, she discovers how hard it is to separate the story she was born to tell from the story she was born to live. A Summer of War is a standalone work of historical fiction that features a bold, brave female heroine who blazes her own path no matter the consequences. If you like fast-paced adventure, raw emotion, and a love worth fighting for, then you'll love Lynn Mason's unique and compelling story set during the height of the Vietnam War.
