Vietnam War: Echoes of the Heart
Five Untold Stories of Love, Loss, and Redemption
By Not Being

In the jungles of Vietnam, the loudest things were not always the bombs.

Sometimes it was a blind boy playing the đàn tranh beneath falling ash.
Sometimes it was the silence between a soldier's sob and the sound of mercy.
Sometimes — it was a letter never sent, a name never spoken, a goodbye never said.

In this unforgettable anthology, Not Being gathers five devastatingly beautiful autobiographical stories from American veterans who served in Vietnam. These are not tales of glory — but of ghosts. Of children with lotus birthmarks. Of women who healed. Of music rising through rubble. Of guilt that grew old. And of love that survived where men did not.

Written with lyrical prose and piercing honesty, Vietnam War: Echoes of the Heart strips away politics, flags, and medals — and reveals what truly endures when the war ends:
Memory. Music. Mercy.

For anyone who has ever held a secret too heavy, or forgiven too late — this book will leave you changed.
