Publisher's Synopsis
Day Hopper from Springfield, Oregon is old, fat and ugly or at least that's how he sees himself. He lives a solitary, boring life as his time in Vietnam, many years ago has left him incapable of developing close relationships. That is until a beautiful, tiny, Chinese, Private Investigator brings him news that his daughter is looking for him. While this might seem like good news, it comes as a bit of a blow to him as he was not aware that he had any children. A string of sudden and unfortunate events forces him to go and meet this mystery daughter. In the process, he discovers that he is not the only lonely person in the world and that the Vietnam war that he thought was over, is still being fought. This time the enemy is just as mysterious and unforgiving as the enemy he went to battle with long ago. As this new war unfolds, Day Hopper discovers that the old wounds that have caused a lifetime of pain might possibly be healed by the very relationship that he has avoided for so long.
