The Reunion

By Dan Walsh

Book Overview

A sacrifice made nearly sixty years ago.
A family torn apart by war-and silence.
A forgotten hero living in quiet obscurity.
A search for a lost man that could change many lives.
And a reunion that could heal everything that's been lost.

Aaron Miller is the kind of man most people pass by without a second glance-a quiet Vietnam veteran living in an old Florida trailer park, fixing broken windows, leaky pipes, and listening patiently to the troubles of others. Few know nearly sixty years earlier, Aaron saved the lives of three young soldiers in a brutal jungle firefight and was awarded the Medal of Honor. Fewer still know what the consequences of that war cost him after.

When a journalist researching a book on Vietnam heroes is tasked to find Aaron, long-buried truths begin to surface. The past collides with the present as Aaron's estranged children are forced to confront the man they thought they knew-with the man he has quietly become. Along the way, old wounds are reopened, unexpected relationships start to form, and the possibility of redemption appears ready to breakdown what had once been an impenetrable wall.

The Reunion is a deeply moving novel about sacrifice, forgiveness, and the quiet ways God restores the things life has broken. It's a story about seeing people for who they truly are-and discovering that it's never too late for mercy, healing, and love.

Customer Reviews

Wow. It will melt your heart.

I really enjoyed this book especially since it honored a veteran of the Vietnam war. (Our men and women were treated horribly when they came home from that war.) This book is definitely a keeper and I will be reading it again in the future, Lord willing. All the characters are believable, and the storyline very feasible. The hero of the book, Aaron Miller, could be any of our heroes that came home from the war. He did not brag about his exploits there, never spoke of them. I think that’s the badge of a true hero. He did his job, he could hold his head up. He did not desire recognition for that. The fact that he is a Christian also resonated with me because I trusted Christ as my savior over 50 years ago. I highly recommend this book and I believe you will agree with me, that it was well worth reading. Enjoy.

Excellent story.

I am 70 year old woman. I own this book. I have respect for what Vietnam vets went through during and after serving, because of reading this story. Well written, about a caring man who feels so undeserving. I have highly recommend to my husband and I would definetly recommend to any man or woman to read... :)
