War and love and resentment and penitence. Gain and loss. AWAY FROM HOME SEASON tells you about the life of young Vietnamese soldiers in the Cambodia-Thailand frontier during the Eighties. From the firing-hot experiences of the author as a Vietnamese veteran in Cambodia, lots of moving details about the war and tear-breaking love stories between the young Vietnamese and young Khmer girls will make you smile and laugh and shed tears. Why and why and why? Read it! And you will find many questions which have no answers long ago seem to be unchanged now all over the world. Yet what that may stay in your mind for a long time is the real and true meaning of war and love and separation.
Rarely do readers have the opportunity to experience life away from home in such a dynamic way as AWAY FROM HOME SEASON. This book opens our eyes and heart to times when while we miss our loves, special food, holidays and friends, “being away” cast us on the shores of adventure when the contrasts with what we already know as true is sharpened in a new venue of a foreign land. The author opens heart and mind with questions we’ll never answer, but at the same time refreshes life by helping us live between worlds. He teaches us through fascinating characters that all good learning happens as we cross over boarders. Love this book! Home is not a place, it is where we are at any given moment.
