Step back in time when we wrote letters and it took weeks to get to our mailbox; when we once had to go through an operator to make an international call; when people would spit at the feet of men in military uniform. Pam Webber takes us back to the 1970’s through the eyes of a young couple and the dangers faced by our US soldiers and the Vietnamese resistance against Communist soldiers. A story interspersed with the beauty of gathering lotus blossom tea, amazing flora from the gardens of Hawaii, the strengths and cleverness of women spies. A delightful novel and easy read.
