All the Broken Angels

Travel back to when Barbie dolls and G.I. Joe were all the rage, Gloria Steinem rose to fame, and women burned bras as men marched off to war. History unfolds as women’s rights, faith, patriotism, the dawn of gay liberation, and the treatment of Vietnam veterans take center stage in this captivating journey through a pivotal era that resonates with today’s troubling times.

Albie is in Paradise. Cate is in Hell. Paradise is a military base along the South China Sea in Vietnam, and Hell is the Hell’s Kitchen district of New York. 
But life didn’t start that way for these two cousins and best friends who grew up together in 1960s New Jersey. Raised under the watchful eye of their family and the nuns in their Catholic school, they drift apart as the war rages. Albie is gung-ho for God and country, while Cate rebels against her religious upbringing, protests the war, and yearns for the tie-dye and bell-bottoms counterculture of New York's Greenwich Village.

Tragedy strikes and her world turns upside down, but an eclectic group of newfound friends rallies to her side. Cate’s quest for purpose and meaning becomes one of encouragement, resilience, and transformation.
