An American Girl by S. Naomi Main is an autobiographical account that documents a fifty-one-year relationship defined by the long shadow of the Vietnam War and the quiet persistence of faith. The story begins in 1968 at a small-town diner, where a nineteen-year-old soldier on leave met a fifteen-year-old waitress. What started as a chance meeting between Mark Main and Sharon Sholl became a lifelong partnership that survived decades of external pressure and internal struggle.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 15th Apr 2026 – This is not a polished romance of easy wins. Main writes with a blunt, first-person precision about the friction that comes with half a century of shared history. She records the early heartbreak of a “Dear John” letter, the grief of losing a first love to combat, and the complicated reconciliation that brought her back to Mark. The book is particularly candid about the transition from soldier to civilian. It tracks how Mark’s time in Vietnam surfaced years later in the form of heavy drinking, sudden temper, and a depression he could not initially explain. 

The narrative moves through the couple’s shared attempts to build a life in a Cedar Chalet A-frame they built themselves. It covers the reality of infertility caused by endometriosis and the couple’s shift from wanting their own children to becoming a steady, supportive presence for a wide circle of “adopted” nieces, nephews, and neighbors. Main does not shy away from the darker chapters of their marriage, including a brief separation and an affair, treating these moments as facts of a life lived rather than points of drama. 

As the years pass, the book focuses on the couple’s deepening spiritual life and Mark’s involvement with the American Legion. The final chapters sit with the reality of Mark’s battle with colon cancer and his decision to face the end of his life with a renewed sense of belief. In a striking coincidence, Mark passed away on December 29, 2019—exactly fifty-one years to the day after he first left for Vietnam. 

An American Girl uses simple, conversational language and the pop songs of the 1960s to anchor its emotional history. It offers an unvarnished look at how two people stay tethered to one another through war, loss, and the slow accumulation of ordinary days. It is a story about the work of staying together and the identity that remains when a lifelong pair becomes one.
