Night Work: A Novel of Vietnam (The Jim Hollister Trilogy Book 2)
Page 56
She was ashamed. Though none of the elders in the village accused her of any wrongdoing, she felt as though she had betrayed her tribe by having sex with Vietnamese soldiers. But the ultimate pain came when she found that she was pregnant. Every day since the birth of her son, she had been reminded of that night.
By dawn there was still no sign of Sraang.
Jrae alternated between the unavoidable duties of her day and moments of fear when her mind wandered to the things that could be happening to her sister.
She hoped that Sraang would return before the small tribe moved.
Two weeks earlier, the South Vietnamese sent a province officer into the village to tell them that they could be relocated to a resettlement camp near Tay Ninh. They would have to give up their nomadic lifestyle and move to a government resettlement camp if they wanted to survive.
The older men knew whatever fading authority they held in their small group would disappear the moment they arrived at a resettlement camp. Younger men and stronger men at the camp would insist that they be given the power to make decisions for Krong’s people.
