Sea of Dreams (Paperback)

'We have to live our myth to work out a sense of purpose and form, and thus experience the balance and harmony which comes with belonging.' During the Vietnam War, David Chapman, an American photo-journalist is killed in a car bombing while on assignment covering the conflict. Fourteen years later, a dying Vietnamese mother sends a letter to his widow, Sophie, which reveals a secret compelling her to travel to Saigon and Hue to seek out the truth of his violent death and face the unfinished legacy David has left behind. Her voyage of discovery uncovers an even more devastating truth about the full involvement of the Baillieu family in a tragic war and its after-effects. Sea of Dreams follows the fortunes of the Baillieu family, first begun in Kelly King's novel Tears of the Sun. The ensuing turbulent political, sexual and religious cross-currents resurface as the Baillieus traverse continents and cultures, seeking out their own myths.
