Sinopsis

In the fog-shrouded jungles of Vietnam, seventeen-year-old Marine sniper Judah Connor Doolin hunts the enemy with lethal precision while wrestling with his own moral compass. Abandoned at birth and adopted by loving parents, Doolin fled high school to prove himself in combat, carrying his mother's gold cross as his only connection to a complicated past.
 
When Doolin discovers evidence of treachery within American ranks—coordinates of planned operations in enemy hands—he forms an unlikely alliance with the enigmatic Colonel Alfred Mallroy. Together, they embark on a dangerous investigation that spans from the highlands of Vietnam to the streets of Saigon, unraveling a conspiracy that puts both their lives at risk.
 
Spanning decades and continents, "A My 3rd Mother" follows Doolin's journey from young sniper to a man seeking redemption. In Mexico, he confronts drug cartel violence with the same calculated precision he once used in combat. Back in America, now working as a paramedic in Chicago, he encounters a trauma surgeon harboring secrets that connect to Doolin's own mysterious origins.
 
This unflinching examination of war's psychological wounds and lasting trauma offers a meditation on loyalty, duty, and the possibility of redemption. Through Doolin's eyes, readers witness the complex moral calculations of those caught in the machinery of conflict and the lifelong quest to reclaim one's humanity after experiencing war's darkest corners.
 
If you enjoyed "The Things They Carried," "Matterhorn," and "Tree of Smoke," you'll love "A My 3rd Mother: Vietnam and the Journey Toward Redemption."

    Throughout the long centuries of human history is the want, and the need, to share information, to exchange ideas and for that knowledge and experience, for curiosity and learning, to be the basis of a civil society. 
    In literature the ambition is much narrower.  In order to be known, to be popular, you had to be published.  And for that people had to know you existed and your ideas worth reading.  Obviously for most of humanity’s time people couldn’t read and texts couldn’t be published in any great number. 
    In the 15th Century Gutenberg’s printing press began the revolution to address the second and by the 19th century had gathered pace with startling speed and mass distribution.  Education for the many was brought in to help people understand more of their world and, with new skills, how to have a better place within it.  Now, if the powers that owned the presses and means of distribution agreed an audience would now be able to avail themselves of your ideas, your printed words.  
    Sadly, in the thirst for the new, the recent and the past fell from sight, relegated to dark corners and dusty shelves.   
    But the printed word is rarely without someone, somewhere busying themselves through piles of papers and books rediscovering what a good story is, whatever its age.

    In the swirl of Philadelphia at the end of Prohibition, Leyb meets Charles. They are at a former speakeasy called Cricket's, a bar that welcomes, as Charles says in his secondhand Yiddish, feygeles. Leyb is startled; fourteen years in amerike has taught him that his native tongue is not known beyond his people. And yet here is suave Charles, a Black man from the Seventh Ward, a fellow traveler of Red Emma's, speaking Jewish to a young man he will come to call Lion. 
     
     
     
    Lion is haunted by memories of life before, in Zatelsk, where everyone in his village, everyone except the ten non-Jews, a young poet named Gittl, and Leyb himself, was taken to the forest and killed. 
     
     
     
    And then, miraculously, Gittl is in Philadelphia, too, thanks to a poem she wrote and the intervention of a shadowy character known only as the Baroness of Philadelphia. And surrounding Gittl are malokhim, the spirits of her siblings. 
     
     
     
    Moriel Rothman-Zecher's Before All the World lays bare the impossibility of escaping trauma, the necessity of believing in a better way ahead, and the power that comes from our responsibility to the future. It asks the most essential question: What do you intend to do before all the world?
