Story5 out of 5 stars 19
In the wake of her mother's death, Jessica Pearce Rotondi uncovers boxes of letters, declassified CIA reports, and newspaper clippings that bring to light a family ghost: her uncle Jack, who disappeared during the CIA-led "Secret War" in Laos in 1972. The letters lead her across Southeast Asia in search of the truth that has eluded her family for decades. On the night of March 29, 1972, Jack's plane vanishes over the mountains bordering Vietnam. The crash eerily echoes the one Jack's father, Ed Pearce, survived in World War II, when Ed parachuted out of the plane before being captured.

Edwin Jack Pearce is from my hometown. Reading about the faith, determination and persistence the Pearce family had in bringing Jack home was astounding. Throughly enjoyed hearing Jessica share the story and her emotion throughout the reading. Highly recommend.
