Book excerpt: “All the way from Hollywood, USA, please give a warm welcome to Kathy Donovan, America’s Sweetheart.” Having reached the height of her television and singing popularity, Kathy Donovan, known as America’s Sweetheart, finds herself at age forty with a fading career. Her wholesome image, cultivated for over twenty years, fell out of style in the early 1960s. Coupled with the recent death of her husband, an American correspondent covering a story in South Vietnam, she is confronted by an emotional crossroads with no clear direction to turn. Though reluctant at first, Kathy’s Hollywood manager has convinced her to perform two shows for American servicemen stationed in Saigon. Upon her arrival, she meets Craig, a handsome young American serviceman, whom she instantly becomes infatuated with. Consumed by a yearning to be loved and desired, their brief affair is complicated by murder, tragic death, and the assassination of the American President. With her desperate escape from Saigon, she is forced to leave behind the young man who fell in love with America’s Sweetheart. PUBLISHER NOTE: Historical Romance. Inspirational Romance.
