A father and daughter story (I think) about a man broken by alcoholism and PST ecxerbated by the Viet Nam war. It takes place in the Northern Ontario and US midwest. There is also something going on about a town being flooded by the building of a dam. A very disappointing book. I skimmed the last 75 pages just to see what really happened in Viet Nam. Just some killing of civilians --- nothing to distinguish it.
The writing style made me think of the writing style. Almost the same as the narration in the old TV show The Waltons.
Too bad, a great idea.
