"Until now, military families have never been given an exclusive voice in the historiography of the Vietnam War. Susan Hunter's book, 77 Letters, highlights the power of human interaction, emotional support, and their collective effect on the health of the human spirit. A book like 77 Letters can remind us that, even during times of social upheaval, we can still find allies through the power of kindness and empathy." Mike Guardia, Author of "Hal Moore: A Soldier Once... and Always""77 Letters is a beautiful and timely story about a heroic soldier and a woman who reached out to him and his comrades during a turbulent time in our history. This patriotic story of empathy and kindness bridges the racial divide and provides a healing message, particularly poignant, when considering the social justice issues which have our country so divided today. As a Vietnam Veteran and former Race Relations/Equal Opportunity Officer for the Massachusetts National Guard, I highly recommend 77 Letters. It is a story that will fill you with hope as we try to find our way forward to a better America, one that represents justice and equality for all." Brian Sullivan, LTC (Ret), USA Vietnam Veteran"Susan Hunter's compelling prose pulsates with passion and power, urging us to read more deeply and to understand more fully. This true story shreds many of the commonly held misconceptions about the Vietnam War and presents the truth with precision, honesty, and healing. With poignant insight into our past, 77 Letters provides a much-needed message for contemporary culture, and bona fide hope for a better future." Ken Abraham, 15x New York Times bestselling author"Chronicling the unlikely correspondence between a Viet Nam soldier and a young New England housewife, 77 Letters reminds us that history is best learned through the stories of real people."
