The Precious Wentletrap

Those who suffer from Post-traumatic stress disorder are haunted by their memories . The most innocent and obscure things: a song on the radio, the smell of steak cooking on the grill, or a beloved childhood toy, brings them back to the very place or time they've tried desperately to forget. Maggie Taylor, an army nurse who still suffers with PTSD more than twenty years after coming home from Vietnam, is the heroine of The Precious Wentletrap. During the Vietnam War Maggie was stationed with her best friend, Kate O'Brien, at the 71st Evacuation Hospital, located deep in enemy territory on the Cambodian border. Maggie experienced the love of a lifetime with a dustoff pilot in that forsaken place, but she returned to the States alone, without her best friend or her soulmate. She eventually marries a Vietnam protester and successfully hides from her past- until her life unravels around her. The Precious Wentletrap is a story of healing which will help anyone who has experienced tremendous loss in their lives, especially those recovering from Post-traumatic stress disorder.
