Synopsis

1990... Vietnam and America have not yet made peace. Vietnam is freshly wounded from fighting border wars with China and on the eve of becoming a market economy. The first bombing of the World Trade Center is three years away, so America is not yet awake to the dangers of Islamic terrorism. Nevertheless, Vietnam and America recognize the importance of ending their differences.  Mission in Paris 1990 is the story of how an American media tycoon, Robert Samberg, whose youth in 1968 tied him to Vietnam's future, is recruited to explore peace talks, never expecting that a mission to explore political reconciliation would lead him to a path of personal reconciliation.  On the eve of his greatest business triumph, he rediscovers My Hanh, a long-lost love from Vietnam and a son he never knew he had.  Robert's life is upended in this tale about the enduring strength of love and the power of forgiveness.
