About
A Police Action: It is love at first sight when nineteen-year old Samantha
Powers meets James Coppi at the Country Honky Tonk in Colorado Springs. There
are just two problems standing in the way of a storybook ending for Samantha's
passion: she is pregnant with someone
else's child—and James, a young soldier, is heading for a war in Vietnam. But is there something more to this instant
attraction? And what will happen after
James is deployed? Will he return home safely, and, if so, will it be for
Samantha? For James and Samantha, it
seems uncertainty is the only certainty.
A moving story that unfolds as James and Sam mature through individual
and shared hardships, A Police Action is
unforgettable.
A
solid and thought-provoking novel, A
Police Action is a richly textured tale resplendent with vivid historical

love, and the unmistakable restless uncertainty of youth. A powerfully realistic story informed by
Freda’s own experience in Vietnam, A Police Action brings to life the
spirit and the struggles of the 60s.
With its engaging premise, multi-dimensional characters and gripping
