SOULFUL JOURNEY: Against All Odds

During the Vietnam War, America embarked on a campaign to fight the communists in Southeast Asia. For ten years, the Americans had used B-52 bombers to attack suspected communist Vietnamese base camps and supply routes in Cambodia. On a fateful morning, a young woman and her companions travel by boat on the Mekong River to visit a ferry town in southern Cambodia. On their voyage, they come under attack by B-52 bombers. She is shipwrecked and trapped in the maelstrom of the Vietnam War and the Cambodian Civil War. Deep in the hostile jungle where a genocidal regime rules, dangers await . . . To survive, she must find a way to escape. "Stories like yours must be told. In the midst of human tragedy, your story finds its way to peace and hope. And for that alone, it was worthwhile writing it and reading it." Florina Lupsaiu
