Send Me Safe My Somebody

About the Book

It’s 1969 and American pilot, Paul Winslow, has been shot down and captured in Vietnam. In a love story that transcends time, Sarah Fremont, a San Francisco hotel executive, comes to believe that she has known and loved him in more than one previous life.

Is it possible? Could Sarah have been the gentle Yoshiko in 17th century Japan? The beautiful Marguerite in 18th century Italy? The tempestuous Rosella in 19th century France?

Pete Winslow, Paul’s father, is a retired army officer baffled by the violence associated with the opposition to America’s role in Vietnam. Paul’s mother, Merrie Winslow, though seemingly fragile, has been the quiet strength behind her family for so many years that she finds it impossible to share her terrible anguish with a husband who depends upon her for stability. Sheila Winslow Koslowsky Donnelly, Paul’s sister, follows a dangerous path in an effort to get her father’s attention.

When Sarah joins Pete and Merrie in the quest for information about Americans missing or held prisoner, she finds herself torn between reality and dreams. Will Paul and Sarah find each other in this life or must they wait for still another?
