Shadows of Saigon by Mark R. Anderson

Story 3 of 5 stars

Heat 2 of 5 stars

Main characters – Grady Cordeaux

Grady Cordeaux is a Vietnam veteran who matured from a hot-headed boy, with excessive worry and anxiety, to a thoughtful man in Vietnam. A combat veteran who was honored by several awards and medals. He lost his high school sweetheart but found love again and suffered profound loss.

Some forty years after Vietnam a heart attack has Grady reliving the past. We get to follow a young farm boy, whose temper changes the trajectory of his life forever. Dreams are broken, love is lost and found again, along with tragedy. He returned from Vietnam a shadow, who never fully recovered.

I wasn’t overly fond of Grady in the beginning but his story was engaging, even with a familiar storyline. I wouldn’t say I loved Grady but he grew on me a little.
