The Vietnam War has been hard on Gibby's family. One brother never returned and the other returned only to spend three years in prison. When a day at the lake ends with a riot aboard a prison transport that will result in the murder of a young woman, Gibby dives deep into his older brother's war history to prove him innocent.

The Unwilling started strong with the complicated relationships of Gibby's family. However, the story didn't have enough suspense to compensate for the highly unrealistic characters and plot line introduced halfway through the book.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from St. Martin's Press through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
