To Wing Commander Adam Campbell, hell and heaven weren't just philosophical concepts. Hell was the stark wasteland he'd inhabited as a prisoner of war in Vietnam. Heaven was the sustaining memory of Cecilia and the son borne of her sweet, soft flesh.

Now it was Cecilia's turn to wrestle with understanding both paradise and perdition -- the bliss of love regained and the torment of never finding the only child Adam would ever have -- the one she'd given away.
