My 3rd Mother: Vietnam and the Journey Toward Redemption

In the fog-shrouded jungles of Vietnam, seventeen-year-old Marine sniper Judah Connor Doolin hunts the enemy with lethal precision while wrestling with his own moral compass. Abandoned at birth and adopted by loving parents, Doolin fled high school to prove himself in combat, carrying his mother's gold cross as his only connection to a complicated past.

When Doolin discovers evidence of treachery within American ranks—coordinates of planned operations in enemy hands—he forms an unlikely alliance with the enigmatic Colonel Alfred Mallroy. Together, they embark on a dangerous investigation that spans from the highlands of Vietnam to the streets of Saigon, unraveling a conspiracy that puts both their lives at risk.

Spanning decades and continents, "A My 3rd Mother" follows Doolin's journey from young sniper to a man seeking redemption. In Mexico, he confronts drug cartel violence with the same calculated precision he once used in combat. Back in America, now working as a paramedic in Chicago, he encounters a trauma surgeon harboring secrets that connect to Doolin's own mysterious origins.

This unflinching examination of war's psychological wounds and lasting trauma offers a meditation on loyalty, duty, and the possibility of redemption. Through Doolin's eyes, readers witness the complex moral calculations of those caught in the machinery of conflict and the lifelong quest to reclaim one's humanity after experiencing war's darkest corners.
