David Joseph Watkins was born the only son of the singular, influential, and well-known priest of the small town of Zionsville, Indiana.
All his life he hid a secret from his family, an unforgivable sin. A sin condemned not only by the people he held dear but by the society around him-forbidden by the laws of the land he lived in, forbidden by societal and familial pressures.
Once the truth came out along with him, his life became a true hell on earth-the judgement day of which his father fervently preached.
Thrown among the hail of gunfire and scattering of shrapnel, Dave was shipped off to the A Shau Valley in the Mountain of the Crouching Beast-where he would meet someone who would change his life forever-and see him to the end.
Between the battle of war and the battle of love and loss-will he ever find peace?
