He always knew that he was destined to serve his country and had looked forward to being sent to Vietnam during a time when most would not. Charlie was the enemy, and needs to not just be stopped, but destroyed as well. Dorsey had prepared his whole life for this moment, but what he finds in this war-torn, exotic land is something that he had not originally planned... a forbidden love. When tragedy strikes and his world is turned upside, he runs away to escape these prohibited desires. The Fabulous Miss Victoria Charles... tells a bittersweet tale from two different perspectives, and shows that in the midst of war, racism, and betrayal, the ghosts of the past will still haunt you, especially when you deny yourself that true love you've always longed for...
