The Butterfly Rose

Thanh Kim, a widowed country folk healer and sorceress, shares the American war in Viet Nam with her grandmother's rose garden, the spirit of her warrior-poet, and the romantic strains of an old friend's violin. Despite the terror of war, she finds hope for the future in an unexpected discovery: an American soldier-descendent of a French Foreign Legionnaire her grandmother helped drive from their Que Son valley a hundred years before.
