About the Book

"Looking Back" is a brief personal memoir written simply for the author's family to explain a love they knew nothing about. It tells of a white orchid and a first love lost and rediscovered 45 years later. Jon and Jo Anne met in their first year of high school in California's San Fernando Valley and their love story continued through college until Jon was sent to Vietnam as an "Adviser" before war was declared. As one of the first American Special Forces Captains smuggled behind enemy lines to search for secret tunnels and Viet Cong hideouts in North Vietnam he was wounded twice on covert operations and believed missing. After being introduced to Wally, the other love of her life, on a holiday in Sydney, Australia, Jo Anne decided to leave her home and teaching career to move down under to escape memories of her first love and start a new life. Life was exciting in the early 1970s on the island continent and the story takes the reader on a tour of the Australian culture, lifestyle and changes over the next thirty years. Before writing "Looking Back" the author wrote a fictional account of the love affair which gives a more complete look at California and Australia in the 1960s and some of the early military operations in Vietnam. "Love and a Hell of a War" is available in print and on e readers through amazon.com or her website: https//jlcracknell.wordpress.com. "Looking Back" is the true story of that first love and a new life that offered many turns, careers, the loss of another love and a huge surprise for this American/Australian dual citizen.
