Her Own Vietnam
Della Brown served as a U.S. Army nurse in Vietnam, and 30 years later still struggles to make peace with her memories. On the eve of the war in Iraq, Della must confront the fissures in her family life, the mystery of her father’s disappearance, the things mothers and daughters cannot—maybe should not—know about one another, and the lifelong repercussions of a single mistake. An unflinching depiction of war and its personal costs, and of a woman in mid-life who was long ago a soldier.
