Book Description
Two years after being airlifted out of war-torn Vietnam, Matt Pin is haunted: by bombs that fell like dead crows, by smoke and death, by the brother--and the terrible secret--he left behind. Now in a loving adoptive home in the United States, over the course of a baseball season, a series of profound events forces him to confront his past, and to choose between silence and candor, blame and forgiveness, fear and freedom. By turns harrowing, dreamlike, sad and triumphant, this searing debut novel, written in lucid verse, reveals an unforgettable and little-seen perspective on the Vietnam War and its survivors.
