He tried putting his life back together, but found civilian life difficult after all he'd experienced in Nam. Raising his young daughter, Vanessa, by himself after his wife left him, he found it difficult to commit to one job or one woman for any length of time. Then he met a young woman who made him feel alive again. But a life-changing event occurred and he had to choose between his past and the present. He left the woman without a word, believing he was doing what was best for her. Now, years later, she walks back into his life and he believes they may have a second chance at love--except that she hates him.
