About Bryce | About Orlando's Vigil

ORLANDO'S VIGIL

Worried by the behavior of her new neighbor, Krista presses long-time resident June for information on the strange man, which June is reluctant to give. Krista resorts to deceiving her friends and neighbors to get the information she seeks, but to no avail.

Years earlier, Orlando's service in Afghanistan exposes him to the complex tribal politics and darker side of a foreign culture. A gnawing worry grows in him for a village boy, as well as for his own family halfway around the world. When an explosion wracks his mind and body, he painfully learns that it is only the first of several unforeseen nightmares he must endure.

One night, her conscience loosened by alcohol and Krista's incessant questions, June reluctantly reveals to her shocked friend the terrible history leading to Orlando's vigil.
