River of the Sea Sam Hazelrig

River of the Sea is the story of a 4 year old boy (Jules) whose mother was killed in an accident at a hunting lodge. He spent the next twenty years searching for his mothers love in the arms of other women. This event was beyond his recollection and the details were kept a secret by his father who attempted to shield him from this tragedy as he grew into a man. The attempt led to frustration in Jules life when the community in which he was raised gave birth to the rumor that his mother had committed suicide. This rumor led Jules to seek the truth of that tragic day at his fathers hunting lodge. Jules was to find no peace with his many consorts until he went off to the Vietnam war and while attempting to escape his enemy, save the life of a French- Chinese woman whose father had been killed in the Battle of Dien Ben Phu when she was a child.
