"A stunning historical coming-of-age novel offers an unexpected take on the US presence in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War as seen through the eyes of Piper, an American diplomat's daughter, thrust into a world unlike any she has ever known." John Fried, author of The Martin Chronicles
In 1968 Bangkok, Thailand, 17-year-old Piper Lewis' world is changing in unsettling ways. The U.S. Military's expansion into Thailand in support of the Vietnam War is reshaping the city she loves. Her USAID Official father's mysterious absences fray their once-close relationship. Her stepmother's obsession with appearances suffocates her. Worse, she can't summon the passion to bring Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata to life. Only her beloved piano teacher, a Thai Prince, senses the depth of her disconnect.
One night, Piper ditches the American Teen Club to party with an older crowd. Sparks fly when she meets Jack, a 19-year-old GI on R&R from Vietnam. Defying the Army's non-fraternization policy, they pledge to spend his leave together. As the hypocrisy of the war closes in on them, Jack's name surfaces in a drug investigation and Piper discovers a disturbing truth about her father, forcing both to decide what they are willing to risk for a few more days together.
Sawadika American Girl is the story of a young American woman coming-of-age on the periphery of a brutal, unjust war.
