This was heartbreaking, but so good. Historical fiction like I've never read before: a Vietnam vet returns to Vietnam and faces who he was during the war. An abandoned child of a Vietnamese woman and a US soldier tries to track down his parents. Ashes and redemption in ways you don't expect. Listen to the audio. 
The narrator is amazing.
