For the Love of Grace: The Finale

Grace Pemberton’s great great grandchildren are again involved in another war, the Vietnam War. Toby, Lucy and William, great granddaughter Grace and husband Joe’s children become involved as a doctor, nurse and soldier. Toby and Lucy work together to put the wounded Aussie soldiers back together again. Grace is devastated as youngest son William enlists with encouragement from his father Joe who is still in the Army teaching recruits how to use artillery. It is indeed a proud father that sends his sons and daughter off to Vietnam. Grace is not thrilled.
Another great grandchild Ben, father Luke who had fought in the Navy in WWII and mother Joanne see another member of the family go to war. When Archie, the son of Eveline and Michael follows in his father’s footsteps in the RAAF it is almost too much for the family to take when he too joins the conflict in Vietnam.
Heart break is felt by all the family when one young soldier does not return. The experience of the events in that war are written about and felt by the whole family especially when the soldiers return and find themselves not heroes as in other wars. The effect lasts for a very long time until they are finally recognised many years later. A beautiful Vietnamese woman joins the family and has to learn how to integrate into Australia. Many refugees fled South Vietnam after the war, some coming to Australia.
