This D.R. Lunsford fictionalized account of actual men and events provides the reader with a tragic perspective of the horrors of war and the loss of innocence. War stories often depict the grim reality of life and death on the battlefield, but few tell of the life-changing "epiphanies" that result from war. This book does just that. A gritty, sweet, tough, sexy and intriguing "coming of age" story filled with love, hate, and real bravery unveiling a powerful payoff. Only after interviewing my father and six decorated war veterans did I come to realize: I HAD to write this book. Their real-life experiences are woven into the fabric of the novel. Expect to be transported through a thirty-year time span and follow the three young lives of Rayford, Jimbo, and Bobby pulled from the naivety of rural Arkansas to the harsh reality of war-torn Korea and "The Forgotten War."
