Inhaltsangabe

This sequel to Goodbye Junie Moon begins where she left off in Washington D.C. She has just testified in Senate Hearings about the corruption among the sergeants managing the army N.C.O. and enlisted men's clubs in Vietnam. By succumbing to her conscience and becoming a whistle blower, she had put her life at risk and lost her business of providing rock bands for the military clubs. Her testimony made front page headlines all over the United States. With her life in tatters, she hopes to make a fresh start and that fresh start includes adopting a poverty stricken child from the streets of Asia. She has seen so much death and so many devastated lives that she now hopes, in some small way, to save a little life. This seems impossible. She is not the usual P.T.A. candidate. A divorced, ex-exotic dancer, suffering P.T.S.D. from the Vietnam War has little chance of meeting the adoption agencies stringent guidelines for adoptive parents. And even in the 1970's, such overseas adoptions were expensive. Even worse, the rules required that she be married. She had tried that once - briefly, and vowed she would never marry again. So, with no husband, no money, and a life best suited to the future T.V. series, Sex and The City, what hope did she have? Her only assets are courage, persistence, and determination. The only glimmer of hope comes from the royalties she hopes to accrue from a book she plans on writing about her Vietnam experiences. Can she change her hedonistic ways, find a husband and become an acceptable adoptive parent? Only time will tell. It is hard to believe that this story is not fiction but it has all been repeatedly verified.
