Tuesday Into/Tuesday

First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros is a weekly meme hosted by Vicki of I'd Rather Be At The Beach every Tuesday. To participate share the opening paragraph or two of a book you've decided to read based on that paragraph. Please feel free to join in, First Chapter~First Paragraph~Tuesday Intros.

Prologue
When the Selective Service notice comes for Tiger, Kate's first instinct is to throw it away. Surely this is every American mother's first instinct? Pretend it got lost in the mail, buy Tiger a few more weeks of freedom before the U.S. Army sends another letter - by which time, this god-awful war in Vietnam might be over.

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by Ambrosia of The Purple Booker


The other mothers didn't do the terrible thing that she did. She deserves to be punished; she has enjoyed every happy day of the past sixteen years like it was something she borrowed, and not, finally, the time for payback has arrived.
