Behind the Pines

Cindy Hinerman

ONE SISTER, ONE LIFE, ONE ABUSIVE DAD, ONE GRANDMOTHER WITH AN UNEXPECTED TWIST THAT MAY BE TOO LATE... Following the signing of the peace agreement, the troops are being withdrawn from South Vietnam, but eight year old Alice and five year old Katie are still pleading for peace within their family. They realize after many beatings from their father, Chuck that the family structure has fallen. Grandma Anna steps in to save the children and their mother, Camille from experiencing beatings that may take their life. Camille struggles with ending her vow or commitment with Chuck, but Grandma is willing to lose her life for the family to be happy. Grandma Anna has plans to make the war stop and to have the children and their mother become a family with a bright, handsome, Navy man. Camille is falling out of touch with life and may lose her two girls forever if she can't fight the haunting thoughts of losing the only man she loves.
