The promise of rain

Summary: "Ethie was born after her father, Howard returned from the war. She never knew him as he was before - an open loving man and a devoted husband. When his wife dies in bizarre circumstances, he becomes even more silent and withdrawn. Howard was one of two thousand Canadian soldiers sent to the Far East a month before Pearl Harbor. Surviving the fierce battle for Hong Kong, he was captured and imprisoned by the Japanese. Ethie's father hides more than the physical and mental scars inflicted by his captors. Something happened in Hong Kong, a secret that has haunted him for two decades and one that could destroy his family should it ever come to life. Ethie - inquisitive and fearless - is determined to discover the truth."--p. [4] of cover
