Griffin Bell studied journalism at the University of Tennessee and worked for several newspapers. She also wrote a Navy wives column for The Albany Herald in Georgia. While waiting for her first husband's expected return from the war, Griffin Bell hosted a television talk show and was a "weather girl." This is the memoir of the wife of an American Navy pilot shot down and captured over Hanoi on Ho Chi Minh's birthday, 1976, and her long wait for his return, only to learn that he had died while a prisoner. James Griffin was interned as a Prisoner of War in North Vietnam after he was shot down on May 19, 1967 and was held until his death in captivity two days later on May 21, 1967. His remains were recovered and returned on March 13, 1973. This is also the story of a second Navy pilot whose plane went down in 1965 and, after seven and a half years of captivity returned home to find that he had "lost" his wife and family. This is the story of one wife and two heroes whose lives meshed to bring a happy ending to a saga that had few happy ending. Dora Smith Griffin tells her story in the present tense, to allow the reader to walk in her shoes, read her mail from the air war, and sleep beside the man who still has nightmares some 35 years after he was tortured in Vietnam.
