From Christy and Carol Award–winning author Christina Suzann Nelson—whose novels have earned starred reviews from Publishers Weekly, Booklist, and Library Journal.

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—has one mission: 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 love:

Split-time historical fiction
Cold case mysteries
Multi-generational family drama
Vietnam War fiction
Christian fiction with heart and hope

Fans of Lisa Wingate, Kristy Cambron, and William Kent Krueger will be captivated by this unforgettable story of love, loss, and redemption.
