Описание книги

A little boy lost. A country at war. A promise made long ago that cannot be forgotten. As a sixteen-year-old in the Fifties, Miki Patrick is forced to surrender her baby son. It's now 1971 and the anti-war activist with a price on her head risks her freedom to find her somewhere child and keep him out of an unrighteous war. The drama played over two decades revolves around the feud between Miki and her best friend since childhood, the whip-smart, potty-mouthed Jude Brenner. The troubled teenagers made a pact. Each believes the other broke it. It will take Vietnam to bring them together again.

‘Gotcha!’ said Miki triumphantly, as she heard the familiar click and lowered her camera to her side.

‘Tut, tut!’ Jude waved a finger as the apoplectic senior as the girl hurled the cigarette across the playground. ‘Quell horror! Wait till Sister Augusta sees this! Wait till she finds out!’ called Jude to the retreating figure. ‘Or should we talk? About that detention stuff?’
