The Reunion is a beautiful book, very well written, and full of heart.

Aaron Miller, a Vietnam vet, is caretaker of Bentley’s Trailer Park and Campground. He gets around on a golf cart, fills people’s propane tanks, and helps out any way he can. His home—if you can call it that—is a garage with sparse furniture.

Heather and her boyfriend live in the trailer on Lot 31. They fight a lot. One day, Aaron finds Heather with her eye swollen shut. Last week, she had a red mark on her face. Aaron helps her get ice on her eye, asks a few questions, and he promises not to let her boyfriend hurt her again. He told his boss lady and moved on to the next job.

He needs to repair the access ramp for Billy, another Vietnam vet, who lost both legs in the War. Aaron got Billy to come to the door and chatted for a while with him, getting to work on the ramp. What Aaron didn’t know was that Billy had the gun loaded and was planning to kill himself that day.

Karen is on a “blind date” with a man who’s handsome and knows it. This isn’t going to work, partially because her date keeps reminding Karen that she’s older than he is. Karen can hardly wait until this one is over. Karen is a real estate agent. She’s smart, beautiful, and single.

Dave is a newspaper journalist who’s writing a book about Vietnam heroes, in honor of his father, who died in the War. He’s a widower and has one son in high school, Jake. On a routine assignment, Dave has the opportunity to do some work for his book. He’s going to Houston, where he’ll be able to interview a prominent veteran.

When Dave interviews John Lansing, he learns of the brave man who saved his life along with two others. Then, Dave begins the search to find him—a real Vietnam hero.

I don’t want to spoil it for you, but the interwoven lives—there are more—and the way the author brings them together make The Reunion the best title. You will laugh, cry, empathize, and you’ll find a slice of your own life somewhere in this lovely tale. As an additional plus, you’ll end up with a renewed appreciation of those who fought and died in Vietnam.

The Reunion A Novel Dan Walsh Dick Hill 9781469213934 Books Reviews

I always enjoy books by Dan Walsh. Each story is unique, and this one really got to me. He makes the characters come alive. I grew up during the Viet Nam War. My male friends had draft numbers, and many were called. It was not even called a war, and so many were killed or hurt. The respect now paid to those who fight sure was not given back then. This story is not really about that war, though a bit of it is in the telling, but it is about the vets, especially one vet, an hero who never thought of himself as such, and the people of his life both past and present. The story truly brought me to tears. It was beautifully written, so well told. It made me continue to think about not only this story but of the many unsung heroes in the world around us. Enjoy the read!
Emotional and heartbreaking at times, The Reunion is the story of a Vietnam veteran and how he feels like he’s nothing special. Due to some choices made in his earlier years, Aaron has not seen his kids in decades. As the maintenance man at a Florida trailer park, he pretty much keeps to himself but helps others and reaches out to them without ever realizing how much difference he truly makes.

Dave is a journalist on a mission to write a book on Vietnam war heroes when he finds himself commissioned by a veteran to find a recipient of the Medal of Honor. As he begins his search, he meets Karen, whose dad fought in Vietnam.

The way this story plays out is beautiful, and I hope you’ll give it a try.

Dan Walsh did a fabulous job of weaving this somewhat complex story so beautifully. His characters feel like real people, with real emotions and real problems.

As I listened on Audible, Dick Hill was a great choice for this audio book. I’m always a little hesitant when a male reader records a book that has female characters, but he did an excellent job and I really enjoyed it.

I would classify this book as a southern meal. Maybe mashed potatoes, fried chicken, biscuits, and green beans. Something that reaches your soul.
