Book recommendation - Echoes From a Missing Generation

 

Christina Suzann Nelson is known for her women's fiction. This dual timeline mixes women's fiction with suspense and mystery, 2 of my favorite genres! With the past timeline set in a time that I haven't ready many stories set in, that added another layer of intrigue for me! Here's a bit about the book:

A decades-old disappearance. A woman determined to uncover the truth. A family’s past buried deep in the shadows of the Vietnam War.

In Echoes from a Missing Generation, a gripping split-time novel, the mysteries of the past ripple into the present—where truth, love, and legacy collide.

In 1970, Bristol Danes vanishes on the day he’s called up for the Vietnam War draft. His young wife, Clara, is left behind in the small Oregon town of Oscar’s Creek with unanswered questions and a lifetime of silence. Rumors swirl, secrets grow, and a recent local murder casts a long, chilling shadow.

Now, fifty years later, Kenzie Danes—a determined court reporter and Bristol’s granddaughter—seeks to uncover what really happened to the grandfather she never knew. With the help of Frank, a seasoned investigator with ties to the town, Kenzie begins unraveling a web of long-held secrets. But the truth is buried deep, and someone may still be willing to do anything to keep it hidden.

Set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War era and modern-day small-town Oregon, Echoes from a Missing Generation is a powerful novel of hidden histories, generational impact, and the courage it takes to find the truth.

Perfect for readers who

Split-time historical fiction
