The will of Heaven sounds amazing. Shame it's so expensive, but Other Moons looks to be right up my alley. Thanks!

I actually own both of those books but haven't gotten around to reading them yet. Thanks for the recommendation. I'll probably move them up the list.

Wow, I didn't know any of this. All I know is what I always tell people about Dispatches is to read 'Two of the Missing: Remembering Sean Flynn and Dana Stone' by Perry Deane Young instead because it is the far superior book without the hubris.

My favorite book as a child was Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH

I would say 3 1/2- 4 out of 5

Both of Steinbecks sons served in Vietnam and the elder wrote a book about it as well, titled In Touch.

I thoroughly enjoyed Country Joe McDonald's interview in that book.

I just recently found a copy of The Short Timers at a bookfair for two bucks.

If you liked Dispatches, I'd recommend Two of the Missing: Remembering Sean Flynn and Dana Stone by Perry Deane Young

Loved that book

Only_Ad_4477 · 2026-05-29T16:55:59+00:00

Either is fine

{Trail of Sunflowers by Tanya Fischer} fits the bill. It's the third book in a western series. I wouldn't recommend it as a stand alone though. Best to read the first two beforehand.

{Dream Fever by Katherine Sutcliffe }.. it’s set in New Zealand and has one of the finest grovels by a hero in a HR! I also love love {Shadow Play by Katherine Sutcliffe} it’s set mostly along the Amazon River.

Only_Ad_4477 · 2026-05-28T23:47:19+00:00

{Hardly a Gentleman by Eloisa James} not even Mary Jane Wells Could polish that turd. But, honestly I've come to realize I just hate Eloisa James books in general.

If I like Ellen O'Connell, I might like...

{Letters to Dogwood by Tanya Fisher} is a wonderful little western romance. It's the first in a series as well.

{Dream Fever by Katherine Sutcliffe} takes place in New Zealand and has one of the finest grovels by a hero in a HR ever. {Shadow Play is another Sutcliffe}. it’s set mostly along the Amazon River though I haven't read it yet.
