The year is 1969…

Gary Fairchild is proud to be a hippie college student, and he protests the Vietnam War because he believes in love and peace. To him, it isn’t just a counterculture movement—it’s a way of life. When tickets to the Aquarium Exposition—3 Days of Peace & Music, or Woodstock, as it was better known, go on sale, there’s no way he isn’t going.

Richard Ronsman is a sheltered farm boy who lives in the shadow of his overbearing father. He’s hidden his darkest secret to earn his father’s love, but nothing is ever good enough—not even volunteering for the Vietnam War. And with just a few days left before he’s deployed, he’s invited by a striking hippie to join him at a music festival.

Three days of music, drugs, rain, mud, and love forged a bond between these two very different men that would shape the rest of their lives. They share dreams and fears, and when Richard is shipped off to war, they share letters and love. For Richard’s first Christmas home, he is gifted a special angel ornament that just might make a soldier’s wish come true.

This story is one of seven stories which can all be read and enjoyed in any order.

The Christmas Angel Series

In 1750, a master woodcarver poured all his unrequited love, passion, and longing into his masterpiece—a gorgeous Christmas angel for his beloved’s tree. When the man he loved tossed the angel away without a second thought, a miracle happened. The angel was found by another who brought the woodcarver True Love.

Since then, the angel has been passed down, sold, lost and found, but its magic remains. Read the romances inspired by (and perhaps nudged along by) the Christmas angel through the years. Whether it’s 1700s England (Eli Easton's Christmas Angel), the 1880’s New York (Kim Fielding’s Summerfield’s Angel), the turn-of-the-century (Jordan L. Hawk’s Magician’s Angel), World War II (L.A. Witt’s Christmas Homecoming), Vietnam-era (N.R. Walker’s Soldier’s Wish), the 1990’s (Anyta Sunday’s Shrewd Angel), or 2018 (RJ Scott’s Christmas Prince), the Christmas angel has a way of landing on the trees of lonely men who need its blessing for a very Merry Christmas and forever HEA.

Author Bio

N.R. Walker is an Australian author, who loves her genre of gay romance. She loves writing and spends far too much time doing it, but wouldn't have it any other way.

She is many things; a mother, a wife, a sister, a writer. She has pretty, pretty boys who she gives them life with words.

She likes it when they do dirty, dirty things...but likes it even more when they fall in love. She used to think having people in her head talking to her was weird, until one day she happened across other writers who told her it was normal.

She’s been writing ever since...

A Soldier’s Wish by NR Walker was heartfelt and heartbreaking; a part of the Christmas Angel series. Set in the tumultuous time of the counter culture and the Vietnam War, Gary and his friends arrived at Woodstock for days of music, drugs, and personal growth. Richard, a young man on the verge of fighting for his country, detours after meeting Gary and his entourage. 

Gary and Richard found love in the three days they spent together in the swampy farm field in Bethel, New York, under the rain and stars; sex, drugs, and rock n roll were part of the order
.
Ms. Walker delivered a tale of first love in a time of turmoil and apprehensiveness. Richard’s struggled with his sexuality and his sense of patriotism was tested the more he witnessed in Vietnam~ coupled with his life changing injury and subsequent discharge from the military.

The author detailed the events of the sixties with clarity and authenticity. The emotional upheaval radiated throughout and gave credence to this historical time period. 

Both Richard and Gary were emotionally charged and their story delicately written. I enjoy reading a Walker tale, and my only drawback was the insertion of draft dodging. I appreciated that the author did not make light of a situation which was very series no matter what side of the coin a person fell.

Definite S.E.X.
