"Where does happiness come from? Connie Boudrenux is the wife of a decorated Vietnam War hero and the loving mother of two children. When her husband, Daniel, is sent to prison in far-off Wyoming for a petty crime, Connie is forced to carry the burden of family alone. Caring for the children while holding down a job proves bitterly difficult when the security of life on military bases has been cut away. How she confronts this change is the substance of Richard Bausch's powerful new novel." "Were things in the Boudreaux family ever what they seemed to be? How do the secrets overheard in childhood alter our lives forever? Rebel Powers is an extraordinary drama that portrays the subtle and terrible psychological effects of war on a single family. It explores the shadows cast by passionate love, and the enduring ties of blood."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

This is a hell of a good book. It brought to mind another more recent novel about a military family in the Vietnam era, Tim Farrington's wonderful LIZZIE'S WAR. But Bausch's book is its own kind of animal. I've known of Bausch's work for many years, but this is the first of his many books I have read. I'm glad I did, and you can bet it will not be the last. This guy knows how to tell a story, and creates characters so real you'll begin to think you know them from another life. Very highly recommended. ( )
