Karen Spears was nine years old, living with her family in a trailer in rural Tennessee, when her father, David Spears, was killed in the Ia Drang Valley in Vietnam. It was 1966 -- in a nation being torn apart by a war nobody wanted, in an emotionally charged Southern landscape stained with racism and bigotry -- and suddenly the care and well-being of three small children were solely in the hands of a frightened young widow with no skills and a ninth-grade education. But thanks to a mother's remarkable courage, strength, and stubborn tenacity, a family in the midst of chaos and in severe crisis miraculously pulled together to achieve its own version of the American Dream.

Beginning on the day Karen learns of her father's death and ending thirty years later with her pilgrimage to the battlefield where he died, half a world away from the family's hometown, After the Flag Has Been Folded is a triumphant tale of reconciliation between a daughter and her father, a daughter and her nation -- and a poignant remembrance of a mother's love and heroism.

This book is a remainder.

What are remainders?

Remainders are books which no longer sell fast enough to meet the publishers accounting needs.

These books may in fact still be nearly best sellers, but the warehouse space is needed for the next best seller.

 What is a remainder mark?

Publishers mark remainders and hurts with a small black line or dot on the bottom or top edge to prevent the books from being returned in error by retailers.

While not all remainders are marked, most are.

Please assume that any book you buy from Kitty Nana's Book Nest is marked.
