The year is 1969… Gary Fairchild is proud to be a hippie college student, and he protests the Vietnam War because he believes in love and peace. To him, it isn’t just a counterculture movement—it’s a way of life. When tickets to the Aquarium Exposition—3 Days of Peace & Music, or Woodstock, as it was better known, go on sale, there’s no way he isn’t going.

Richard Ronsman is a sheltered farm boy who lives in the shadow of his overbearing father. He’s hidden his darkest secret to earn his father’s love, but nothing is ever good enough—not even volunteering for the Vietnam War. And with just a few days left before he’s deployed, he’s invited by a striking hippie to join him at a music festival.

Three days of music, drugs, rain, mud, and love forged a bond between these two very different men that would shape the rest …

Richard Ronsman is a sheltered farm boy who lives in the shadow of his overbearing father. He’s hidden his darkest secret to earn his father’s love, but nothing is ever good enough—not even volunteering for the Vietnam War. And with just a few days left before he’s deployed, he’s invited by a striking hippie to join him at a music festival.

Three days of music, drugs, rain, mud, and love forged a bond between these two very different men that would shape the rest of their lives. They share dreams and fears, and when Richard is shipped off to war, they share letters and love. For Richard’s first Christmas home, he is gifted a special angel ornament that just might make a soldier’s wish come true.

Benjamin Mathis reviewed A Soldier's Wish by N R Walker

One of my favorite romance novels (A Soldier's Wish)

5 stars

I absolutely loved this book. It's not without a few minor spelling or grammatical errors here and there, but the way the story is told is brilliant. I love how the author tells the story from the perspectives of both Gary and Richard. And the love that these two men share and the way it's written and shown is so beautiful. This book will bring tears to your eyes. Though it is a little on the shorter side, I didn't feel the story was lacking because of it. If you love a good romance with a well put together storyline and emotions that will pull at your heart more than once, then I think you'll enjoy A Soldier's Wish too.
