Author Joseph B. Stevens adroitly spins this tender, well-plotted, and extraordinary tale of love and family using politics and life's uncommon occurrences as the backdrop. United States Army Captain, Terry Meyers, assigned to embassy security in Saigon, Vietnam, 1967, narrates his own story of Vietnam survival and wartime mystery that revolves around the important women in his life. They witness those they love the most, perish inside that perilous cloak of war they all share. Not simply a novel of wartime intrigue, Jang delivers a message of how relationships forge within a circle; find reason to continue and develop, then meet the world in a determinedly new and unanticipated way. Moreover, this is a profound story of life renewing itself amongst seemingly insurmountable odds. It is of Terry Meyers' infinite wonder in coming to experience co-worker, Tam Su Dereaux and her young daughter, Jang. Jang overcomes the rites of war, and of her own life's journey. She captures a violent world through her camera, as well as pertinent and meaningful images for those around her. Jang's life ultimately transcends the tragic human wreckage that threatens to engulf all those she has come to love, even to seemingly hopeless ends.
