Description
Mike & Me is a beautifully written account. The author meets an old schoolmate at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial dedication in DC, and what unfolds is a love story between a vet, haunted by his time in service-as a medic and LRRP-and a successful NYC entrepreneur and designer. Donegan tells the story partly through her husband's letters, which allows the story to be both of theirs. Mike & Me is about love, lost children, veterans' struggles to reintegrate, suicide, and the limits of what even the deepest love can heal. It intelligently recounts one veteran's life and tragic death, helping readers understand the men and women who lived through Vietnam. Transcendent, original, and illuminating, Mike & Me is an important, and moving, addition to the body of work surrounding the Vietnam War."
