"Testimonials for The Broken Hallelujah ""This story of a granddaughter trying to understand what the grandfather she never knew went through will break your heart. But it will also make you proud of young men, their loyalty and courage in an impossible situation, and of their women who never lost faith or hope."" Retired Special Forces Major James Morris, author of the acclaimed novels War Story and The Dreaming Circus. ""Fifty years ago, the Vietnam war marked a time of unrest in America. This novel brings that conflict home today as a woman searches for truth in her own life by finding answers to her grandfather's death. If you enjoyed Rhys Bowen's Tuscan Child, you'll love The Broken Hallelujah and its story of the impact the Vietnam war has on a family today."" Deborah Johnson, award winning author of The Air Between Us and The Secret of Magic. ""Vietnam . . . a war that scarred a generation and changed American culture. Wendy Adair explores what it was like then and what it is like now for one family confronted with present and past heartbreak, its pivot a Vietnam vet missing in action almost 50 years, but, in truth, never missing from impacting the lives of those who loved him. Adair shows how love in action can move a man beyond a name chiseled among too many on a wall in our nation's capital."" Karleen Koen, best-selling author of 4 novels including Through a Glass Darkly and Before Versailles ""I admire writers who had no personal experiences with the Vietnam War who spend the time and effort writing creatively about it. Through research and a desire to tell a good story Wendy Adair has produced this well-crafted Vietnam War-heavy novel. For others who may have the same interest, she has done a great job showing them the way."" Bill McCloud, Vietnam Veterans of America Book Review"
