As a fashion buyer at one of New York’s most glamorous department stores, Dana McGarry is a tastemaker, her keen instinct for fashion trends and innovative ideas coupled with a razor sharp business sense. But like the elegant and conservative store that employs her, Dana is caught between two eras—between being liked and standing her ground, between playing by the rules and being a maverick. Dana is sensitive and beautiful, but what you see is not what you get. Behind the cool and attractive facade, Dana is both driven by her need to control yet impeded by her expectation of perfectionism. As she competes to replace women at the top of their game, she is challenged by jealous colleagues. And when a wealthy love interest wants to open doors and support her ambition, she embraces Coco Chanel’s mantra of “never wanting to weigh more heavily on a man than a bird.” As the women’s movement paves the way, Dana finds a path to the career she wants at the expense of happiness that will have to wait.

For the troops fighting in Vietnam, knowing who the enemy was, wasn’t always easy. At times it was the NVA and other times the Viet Cong, or seemingly innocent villagers. It was the jungles, the rice paddies, the heat, the monsoon rains, the mosquitoes, the rats, the snakes, and the malaria. It was the politicians that never allowed the military to do what was needed to win. It was the American public that turned its back on the war and their young men that were fighting. In truth, it was all these things. It was the war. That was the real enemy, the Vietnam War. Bobby Mitchell and his crew on track One-One, A Troop, Third Squadron, Fifth Armored Cavalry, faced that enemy in 1968 and 1969. But when it was all said and done, their sacrifices had been for naught. Their deaths were in vain and their nation had all but forgotten them. $3.99 on Kindle.
