Summary of Gods Go Begging Summary of Gods Go Begging Reviews for Gods Go Begging An Excerpt from Gods Go Begging
Vietnam veteran Jesse Pasadoble, now a defense attorney living in San Francisco, the battle still rages: in his memories; in the gang wars erupting on Potrero Hill; and in the recent slaying of two women-one black, one Vietnamese. In seeking justice for the young man accused of the brutal double murder, Jesse must walk with the men who died on another hill...men who were his comrades and friends in a war that crossed racial divides. Finding the truth means confronting the ghosts of Vietnam--and the possibility of his own redemption. A novel that makes mesmerizing leaps of imagination as it moves seamlessly between past and present, Gods Go Begging tells an unforgettable story of war and peace, guilt and innocence, suffering and love.
