Full disclosure: I'm crying. (

Genius. Be sure to read the author's note at the end of the book--so good. While this book takes place in 1968, there are so so so many parallels to how I'm feeling in 2017 (book was published in 2014). What that tells me is that while many things around me change, some stay the same--both for good and ill. And the constants that are "ill" show me how much work there is to do, and probably always will need to be done. (

Powerful, powerful.
The war in Vietnam and a war at home.
Tears, tears.

Seventeen-year-old Ashe Douglas watches his family fall apart as the Vietnam War, assassinations, and racial strife tears the country apart. Emotionally powerful, gripping historical fiction, and a remarkable achievement in narrative structure. Read the Author's Note and be thoroughly impressed. (

In this book, written entirely in haiku, each word stands for a soldier killed in Vietnam. Ashe's parents married only because his mom got pregnant, and stand on opposite sides of every issue. When his family life turns really nasty, it is mirrored and exacerbated by the political tumult of 1968. (
