Reseña del editor:

"Novelist receives journals from an old friend, recounting his social service and transformation by love on the Mississippi Gulf Coast following Hurricane Camille. His life is a metaphor for the nation's complicated shame over Vietnam. She writes his story, providing a way for her to love him as she always wanted to"--Provided by publisher.

Nota de la solapa:

Twenty-two-year-old Susan Masters travels from Mississippi to Massachusetts. There she meets Caleb Montiel, and while studying in the same Harvard writing class, they make a pact: if either of them lives out a story they know to be too emotionally close to handle, they will give it to the other to write. However, life intervenes, and Susan and Caleb lose track of each other. Twenty years later, after Susan has become a successful novelist, she receives a box of journals from Claeb. They tell of his social service on the Mississippi Gulf Coast following Hurricane Camille. There, Caleb meets Grayce Chadwick - Mississippi bred, a wife and mother, extraordinary and irresistible - and is transformed by love. When the townspeople of Pass Christian force Caleb to flee in order to preserve the Chadwick family, his life becomes a metaphor for the complicated shame the nation suffers over the Vietnam years. Using the journals as a starting point, Susan embarks on writing his story - eventually leading to their reunion and a way for her to love as she always wished she could. "The Assigned Visit" is not unlike Dr. Zhivago in its portrait of powerful emotion that transforms two lives.
