An honest, haunting and gritty account of a veteran's attempt to reenter
civilian life after Vietnam.
The story begins in Madison, Wisconsin in 1975. Chamberlin, who is disillusioned after returning from Vietnam six years earlier, meets a mysterious character named Ken Adi in a run down laundromat whom he hopes might be his guru. The two of them decide to hitchhike to San Francisco. The trip becomes a spiritual quest and a window into the past.
The central part of the book is a series of flashbacks of Chamberlin's
experiences with he Navy's Seabees in Vietnam. At the end of the story,
on the outskirts of Fort Collins, Colorado, a conversation with an old friend leads him to his epiphany as they sit on a balcony at sunset watching horses cavort in a corral.
