About this listen

Nineteen-year-old Jesse McGowan kills to stay alive. As a Marine gunner in Vietnam, he knows the gun team is the heart of every battle. Meet the gun team. They serve in a place called Con Thien, “The Hill of Angels”. Learn what gives them the courage to fight another day. Will Jesse prove worthy? Will the gun team? Will they survive their 13-month tour?

In her war-torn country, Tweet, a Vietnamese nurse who believes in democracy, works to save American soldiers. With war’s end, there is no one to protect her or her young daughter. She must escape the North Vietnamese Communists or face a re-education camp and probable death for helping Americans. Will they survive?

Get this book, and join the gun team and the women they love. Experience their family’s turmoil and emotions during a devastating time in history. Shed tears with their loved ones. Come Now the Angels begins in Norman Rockwell’s 1950s and ends with a Vietnamese community fighting for justice in 2006, post-Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans. Experience a war story that melds romance, an elusive monk, and mystic folklore within the context of actual events. Justice and injustice, the value of life, history, and culture await you inside this multigenerational novel, written to honor and remember.
