What A Pleasant Suprise!
Rating:
5 / 5
I picked up this novel just by sheer luck and was so glad that I did. It is excellent! A nice believable story, woven through some of our most conflicting times in recent history. Characters are well portrayed and story moves along very well.
Gripping Page Turner
Rating:
5 / 5
"Gripping page turner" I know is a cliche, but if its use were ever appropriate, it would be to describe A Matter of Betrayal. The care and attention to detail put into this book is evident throughout. The authors have mastered the true art form of generating strong reader emotion through their vibrant characters. I literally couldn't put the book down over the weekend I read it, choosing to forego all other activities! I would highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in Vietnam and who prefers to read a well-rounded personal story of the era and the affect it had on the lives this war touched. This is not your standard one-dimensional, battle-filled account. Oh yes, and have a box of tissues nearby.
An original, compelling, driving, well-crafted novel.

Patti Massman and Susan Rosser have collaborated to write A Matter Of Betrayal, an outstanding and original novel of love, war, and country music. Jenny Mckay, the daughter of a four star general, is determined to leave behind her sheltered past for the front lines of the Vietnam War. Among the incomprehensible terrors of Vietnam, she unexpected finds something very true and wonderful, which is followed by terrible pain as the man she loves becomes a casualty of that confusing, horrific war. Upon her return to America she is betrayed by her best friend, the daughter of a colonel, and is disowned by her family. Forced underground to protect her daughter and her own identity, music becomes Jenny's tool for survival and the eventual way back to herself throughout the subsequent decades. A work of fiction, but inspired by true events, A Matter Of Betrayal is a compelling novel of superbly defined characters, an original and driving story that is both emotionally and intellectually involving.
