Scent of the Lotus - Coming 2025
True Love Transends a Lifetime
“Scent of the Lotus,” a prequel novel to Patrick Greenwood’s first novel, “Forever our Sunrise in Saigon.” Set during the last days of the Fall of Saigon on April 30th,
1975. Before there was Jack and Linh, there was the incredible
story of Forest and Bui.
Fate bought Forest and Bui together for a split moment on April 30th, 1975. Pulled apart by the mob and his fellow Marines at the American embassy gate, Forest spent the next 20 years trying to get back to a woman he barely knew.
Bui, escaped Saigon only to be captured by the Khmer Rouge only to be thrown into the killing fields of Cambodia. Bui knew in heart she needed to get back to Saigon to hopefully find the young Marine who tied to save her.
Yet, even with a brief connection, their souls bound for life prayed they will find each
again.
Can Forest make it back to Vietnam to find Bui? Can Bui survive the killing fields to get back Saigon in hopes in finding Forest again?
