“Sunrise in Saigon (HCMC)” is about Jack Kendall, a gold-hearted man who dreams about finding true love in his life. Once he finds her, he understands that life can’t be that easy. They live in different countries with distinct laws and beliefs, which affect their relationship. In Patrick Greenwoods debut novel, "Sunrise in Saigon," the author documents true to life plots around the complexity of troubling marriages, people unable to shake their past, along with the journey to self-realization, redemption, and reconciliation. The story spanned from the fall of Saigon (HCMC) in 1975 to the modern day world of the protagonist, Jack Kendall.
Jack's journey to meet Linh for the first time in Vietnam became the backdrop for this story. While many in life wish their lives could be different, Jack's decision to leave America to meet a woman he only knew through internet chats inserted an emotional toll well beyond his expectations.
Jack knew this choice to go Vietnam would jeopardize his family like, work, along with painfully creating further emotional implications including depression. Linh, similar to Jack shared in her own personal life, also risked the same outcome.
One's journey in life is never measured on a positive or negative outcome. Decisions are judged hopefully on what we learn from the experience. Did the connection between Jack and Linh provide a positive road to self-reflection and healing or did the choice to meet only create more anguish?
The choice to pursue your heart over reasoning is felt through this story. Only Jack and Linh will forever know if their choice was the correct one to make.
