Dion is a handsome athlete from the South. Cathy is a heartbroken young nurse from Minnesota. And Norman is from a wealthy and powerful family from Boston-full of privilege but lacking love. When Uncle Sam call, these three young Americans from different parts of the country get their orders and ship out for Vietnam. But though they may be leaving behind their homes and all that is familiar, they will carry their hearts, minds and old battle scars with them into an uncertain future. Whisper In My Ear paints a portrait of three loyal Americans and a beautiful Filipino nurse living their lives as they fight a war during one of the country's most tumultuous times. John Henry Hardy spent more than thirty-three years in the US Marine Corps Reserve. He is also a retired AT&T Territorial Support Manager and earned his BA in psychology at Rutgers University and his MA in business management at the University of Phoenix. A runner and coin collector, he wrote Whisper In My Ear after observing the widespread mistreatment of military veterans returning home from the Vietnam War. He retired from the Marine Corps in 1999 and now lives in Mesa, Arizona, with his wife Lucy.
