No Other Choice: Satan's Favorite Lie

Joining the Air Force in the 1970s meant almost certain deployment to Southeast Asia at a time when the United States was at war with cultural change. Women s rights, the drug culture, antiwar protests, and Watergate issues captured the media while the military faced what many now label America s least popular war. The main character in No Other Choice, as in Hillenbrand s blockbuster book Unbroken, faces his plane being shot down and torture as a POW. The setting for the story, however, is the last months of the Vietnam War. Sergeant Jake Lemaster, a B-52 tail gunner, escapes from captivity in Laos with the help of a brave Hmong warrior. When he returns to the States, he must face the demons that haunt him, learn to live again, and discover how to forgive. It s also a great story of love and faith overcoming adversity. Jake and his wife, Donna, face the challenges of separation during his captivity. Donna forges a way into corporate America at the time when few women aspired to leadership roles. As a couple, they seek to find meaning and purpose for the terrible things that happen to them and the people they love.
