A five-novel series about the impact of the Vietnam war on veterans and their families has just wrapped up with the release of Carole Brungar's book The Return.In the last book, she's thinking about the experiences of the orphans of the Vietnam war, many of whom were removed from the country. In The Return, Jackie Coles fulfills a promise to her stepfather to return to her homeland of Vietnam to find her birth family. It's not great timing for her budding romance with Jeff, whose family was also impacted by the Vietnam War. "Satisfying but at times traumatic" is how Carole describes to Lynn Freeman the last few years interviewing, researching and writing the series. The Return by Carole Brungar is self-published.
