She is unaware that the love of her life is languishing in squalor in one of the worst POW camps in Vietnam, yearning for the day he can be with her again.   In the meantime, Kaylob is fighting to stay alive, and make it home to the love of his life. He is tortured by the Cong, in ways one could never imagine.     Will he be able to survive in hell? Will he ever see his Beth Ann again?     Seasons of Love and War is about hope and the human spirit and how we can survive unbearable grief. This book teaches us about lost innocence, and changing times.     It also shows the pain the Vietnam vets went through during the war and the horror they lived through.
