One man's tale of love, war and recovery. The year is 1971 and with the war raging in Vietnam a young high school graduate, Luke Barnes, figures with a draft number of 11 he may as well join up and get his choice of service—the Air Force. His selected MOS of 'Combat Controller' looks daring and exciting, little does he know it would be a fateful choice. In the month before Basic training he idyllically passes the time with his steady high school sweetheart. Both are full of life, and at the same time a bit melancholy about what the future holds for them both during Luke's very likely deployment to Southeast Asia. It Does Mean Something...A novel of Love during the Vietnam War, an Empty Homecoming, and recovery was written by a veteran of this era from his personal experiences to weave a moving and true-to-life story of the Vietnam experience at the very end of the conflict and the chaotic final pull out.

This is not a “how to” book; rather, it is a “how it was” description of a man experiencing profound grief and gradually healing and moving toward learning to love again. Through vignettes and relevant poetry, the reader will become enmeshed in this account of lost love and the indomitable desire to love again. Death is seen not only as an ending, but also as an opportunity for a new beginning.

Leila Hadley, twenty-five years old, divorced, restless, bored with her succesful career, set off for the Far East with her six-year-old son for an adventure that would last a lifetime. Now available for the first time in many years, Give Me the World is the classic memoir of that trip--to Manilla and Hong Kong, Siam and Singapore, India and Damascus, and on around the world. Told with a remarkable sense of emotion and observation, it is an evocative record of what meets the eye and heart of the traveler. A timeless and moving personal story, Give Me the World is proof of the paradox that a 60-foot-long ship deck can enclose complete and boundless freedom.
