In the summer of 1967, while America danced to songs of love and peace, five young Marines walked into the brutal reality of Vietnam. They were sons, husbands, brothers, and dreamers. They were boys becoming men in a war that would leave its mark on their bodies, their hearts, and their souls forever.
Jesse McGowan, John Beau Parker, Mike Redd, Angel Santiago, and Chingas Ramirez come from different backgrounds and cultures, but in the jungles of Vietnam they become something greater than friends—they become brothers.
Yet the story of war is not only written on the battlefield.
A young Vietnamese woman risks everything to save others. A young woman in America struggles to live with the loss of the Marine she loved. Families are forever changed. Decades later, the echoes of Vietnam still call out to those who survived and those who were left behind.
Spanning more than fifty years, Come Now the Angels: Five Marines in Vietnam is a sweeping and unforgettable historical novel of courage, sacrifice, friendship, devastating loss, enduring love, and the human spirit’s remarkable ability to heal.
Inspired by true events and built upon extensive historical research, this powerful story honors the men and women whose lives were forever altered by the Vietnam War and reminds us that some acts of love and sacrifice never truly end.
All proceeds from the sale of this book are donated to the Vietnam Veterans of America in honor of those who served.
