The Ones Left Behind

This story takes place in the 1970's, about at the end of the Vietnam War. Wiliam, a soon-to-be soldier for the U.S. is leaving behind everything for battle. His friends, his sickly mother, his three year old daughter, and the pregnant love of his life. This story really isn't about William the soldier, though. It's mostly about everyone he left behind and how they cope with having a loved one thousands of miles away fighting in what seems to be a hopeless war.
