Absolution
(Book - Large Print)

"Tricia is a newlywed, married to an attorney on loan to navy intelligence. Charlene is a practiced corporate spouse and mother of three. In Saigon in 1963, the two women form an alliance as they balance the era's mandate to be 'helpmeets' to their husbands with their own impulse to 'do good' for the people of Vietnam. Sixty years later, Charlene's altruistic machinations, discovering how their lives as women on the periphery have been shaped by the same sort of unintended consequences that followed America's interference in Southeast Asia."--Provided by the publisher.
