Author's Synopsis
How much can the human spirit endure? Buck, a Caucasian teacher, and Hues, a multiracial street preacher, form an unlikely friendship after meeting in a bar fight near their Army training base in 1969. When their helicopter crashes later in Vietnam, they’re captured by Viet Cong soldiers, and marched to a brutal prison camp.
Each day begins with the ominous question: how can they survive another day? They discover the gift of good memories and find great hope in Hues’s incredible life spirit which lights their darkest days.
Fourteen months after their capture, Hues damages his ankle so severely he can’t walk. With death closer than ever, they escape and begin a harrowing journey through dense jungle filled with predators. Buck vows to carry Hues every step until they reach safety, but can they possibly make it? Their brotherly love drives them onward.
