Dalton, Minn.
A widow takes a chance on a hot-tempered Vietnam veteran and together they work to help other war veterans reenter society in Ronald S. Zimney's new novel, "A Lost Generation" (published by iUniverse), which is getting a renewed marketing campaign in 2014.
Nearly 50 years old and widowed for the last 10, Lilly Larsen understands that Roger Hartec could be a heartbreaker. First, there's his age. Roger is more than 10 years younger than she. And the rumor mill in Ashland Falls, Minnesota says that Roger, a Vietnam veteran, might have a penchant for violence. Despite all this, Lilly is determined to make a new life with the enigmatic, troubled veteran.
Together, Lilly and Roger embark on a journey of creating a diverse family of rejected individuals. Surmounting one obstacle after another, with the help of an ever-growing circle of friends, this loving couple has no idea of the far-reaching impact their union will make on their community.
A story of confession and redemption, "A Lost Generation" showcases the struggle for survival of a Vietnam combat veteran as he reenters society.
