A Private War

Thomas Kindred left his war behind in 1968, the day he left his Saigon base and became a deserter from the United States Army. Thirty years later, he's living the life of an exile in Canada. To him, his former country no longer exists.

Suddenly his world is turned upside down when he receives a call from Rick Goody, his closest friend from his long ago Army days. Goody believes his life is in danger from the militant, anti-war group he's been a part of since leaving Vietnam. Now he's on the run. He asks for help, and a part of Thomas's all but forgotten past is forcefully reawakened. With a renewed sense of his old fugitive self, Thomas enters the U.S. for the first time in thirty years.

Complicating matters, Thomas's girlfriend Carmen has her own hidden past. She disappears, and Thomas's odyssey to find his former self now includes another mission: to find Carmen or face a life without her.

On a cross-country trek, he rediscovers the country he left behind thirty years before. He becomes involved in a dangerous mission with the same anti-war group that had Rick running for his life. Finally, Thomas finds a resolution to his own private war.
