A Confluence of Fates

By John Zaiss

A well-meaning doctor shaves two minutes from a hospital record so a baby's birthday is not Christmas Day. Nineteen years later, December 24th is the second date drawn in the U.S. military draft lottery, sending a young man to fight in Vietnam.

Richie Hawkins is a middle-class kid from Dallas with medical school ambitions. Those plans are derailed when he is drafted and sent to fight in a war he doesn't believe in. Halfway around the world, Linh Ho ng is born in a remote hamlet in South Vietnam's Central Highlands, where decades of war have turned ordinary life into a daily struggle for survival.

A Confluence of Fates is a sweeping story of chance, the enduring consequences of war, and the unexpected ways lives become intertwined.
