Her Father’s Land, published 2021. Historical fiction.
Jeff Kelly served in the Marines in Vietnam from 1968-69 stationed on the DMZ. The fire base for his battalion, Alpha-3, was built atop the ruins of a destroyed hamlet named Tan An Von Giap. Nothing remained of it except piles of rubble that lined a weed choked central street outside of the mine field. While patrolling the surrounding area, Kelly thought of the people who lost their homes, land and family grave sites.
Kelly’s novel, Her Father’s Land, is a fictional treatment of a young woman from the hamlet of Tan An Von Giap in a time of war.
