<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>So many love stories stop at the wedding vows...when couples pledge to love each other "for better or worse, in sickness and health, til death do us part." But not this one.</b></p><p>In 1968, Linda sat next to a handsome sailor in the Penn State cafeteria. Who could resist a handsome sailor? Not Linda, who fell head over heels in love. Against the backdrop of the tumultuous sixties, they married and had three children, and Bud became the Navy officer of his dreams. </p><p>But their perfect Navy family life unraveled with Bud's frightening symptoms hearkening back to two tours in Vietnam. A sudden collapse led to a diagnosis virtually impossible for a vital young man. </p><p>While Linda raised their children and followed her vows to care for her husband, two questions plagued her: </p><p><i>How could her young and healthy husband suddenly have such a sinister cancer? And how could his beloved Navy abandon him?</i></p><p>On a mission of love, Linda spent years unearthing what really happened to Bud, only to find that the military that discarded him had hidden the truth about his illness for decades.</p><p> <br><b><i>Tainted Seas </i></b>is the sometimes hilarious, sometimes heart-breaking story of a passionate couple coping with tragedy, and the continuing journey of a woman dedicated to justice for military families shattered by the very institutions they nobly served. A loving wife on a mission of true love and truth proves that nothing can stay hidden forever--even against the power of the US government.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Linda Jo Heffner</b> operates from both sides of her brain. From her left brain came her profession as a science, mathematics, and computer science teacher, while her right brain gives her talent in painting, clay sculpture, crafting, and now writing.
