Synopsis:

In this compelling feature length movie from bestselling author Danielle Steel, Paxton Andrews, a young idealistic woman, faces love, loss and the harsh realities of war. Thrown into the radical 1960s campus life at Berkley, she believes she has founda true soul mate in a bright, idealistic law student named Peter. But when fate gets him drafted and killled in Vietnam, grief motivates Paxton to become a war correspondent for a San Fransico newspaper. In a career move that will eventually change her life, her attitudes, and her future she is transferred to Saigon.
Reporting on the truths and tragedies of war through first-hand experiences, her column Message from Nam becomes an enormous success in America. But her personal relationships, including a passionate affair with an army captain, continue to suffer the casualties of combat. From front line fighting to the moral battle within her heart, Paxton uses hope and determination to survive the fall of Saigon.

Inspired by her father, whom she lost at a young age, Paxton Andrews shuns a traditional Southern upbringing to follow her own path. Embarking on a career which will eventually change her entire life, she attends college at Berkeley. Whilst majoring in journalism, Paxton meets Peter Wilson, a young law student and against her family's wishes they become inseparable. When Peter is drafted and subsequently killed in Vietnam, Paxton is bereft and feels she must go to Vietnam and find out for herself why the war is happening and try to make some sense of it all - not only for herself, but for the people at home too. After an intense affair with an army captain and her search for a lover lost in action, Paxton's story culminates with the fall of Saigon and her realisation that she must put the past behind her and look toward her future.

Journalism Major Paxton Andrews looses the man she loves in the Vietnam War. Always having followed the beat of a different drum, she decides to work out her grief by going to Vietnam and writing a column that will hopefully help those at home better understand the War. While she's there her life is changed profoundly and she finds new love and hope in the midst of death and destruction.
