Before arriving in Vietnam in 1967 life was fulfilling and carefree. Helen Patches Musgrove, age 48, a former nurse and surgeon's wife (widowed), was living a glamorous life owning a yacht, horse stables, a private plane, traveling the world, and managing her own fashion line and clothing factories in Hong Kong and Singapore. Landing in Saigon, her only intent was to develop a clothing line, adding to her successful business ventures throughout Asia, but nothing in Vietnam made sense; instead of contracts and permits every office demanded kickbacks and bribes. But Helen was an honest soul and rebelled at caving to corruption. At the suggestion of a friend, she became a correspondent. As a reporter she could write articles, and travel on military transports while simultaneously working her clothing line and factory contracts. A few weeks was all she needed to see her factories bustling with production and then she could resume her jet-setting socialite life.

Patches in Vietnam is based on decades of research into the amazing Helen Musgrove and her six years as a reporter for the Jacksonville Journal during the Vietnam War. This is the first in a series covering the events of her life in Vietnam, specifically the year 1967 and includes the names of many Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Nurses she interviewed and befriended.
