Tree
by Mark W. Sasse

Chip Carson intends to marry a
young Vietnamese woman named Thuy until a tragic accident lands him in prison,
forever altering the outlook of their relationship. As he struggles to cope
with their strained love, a mysterious stranger appears, bearing a journal
about Chip’s grandfather who parachuted into French Indochina at the end of
World War II. As the words of the journal reveal a life that Chip never knew,
he begins to understand the depth of love and sacrifice needed in order to have
a second chance with Thuy.
