 Moving Memoir with lots of heart! October 27, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I had to give a personal review of this book since it moved me greatly after I read it. I think lots of veterans can identify with the emotional denial that John went through coming back from combat in Vietnam. He spends his life trying to make things work. However, there is always that unresolved inner anger that most Nam vets had when they returned, most tried to bravely move on with their lives in spite of that inner demon time bomb.
I can feel what John did and admire him for putting his life out there for others to examine and judge. If it helps just one more veteran come to grips with PTSD then his book and all that he has gone through will be worth it.
He also deals with some family issues that bring him to a full understanding of his relationship with life, with God and with the whole meaning of it all. I was proud of John's personal fight to recover his emotional life -- I hope that thousands of veterans and their families buy and read his book so that they will better understand what PTSD is all about and how you can turn things around. If you just read the inner book cover notes from his wife Sandy I think you will be hooked on the story. This book is about love and healing even if there was pain and suffering.
 Is the war ever over for the soldier? March 2, 2006
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
PTSD is more than a wound to the body and mind. It is also a wound to the soul. This book is a frank and open discussion of these wounds. It describes in depth the cross John carried and how it transformed his life. This book will be helpful and thought-provoking for all veterans and their families. Wives of Vietnam veterans should read this book because it doesn't only focus on the soldier, but includes the family and those that can see the before and after affects of combat in a person. It will also help those whose lives have been touched by depression, trauma, or other soul-wrenching obstacles. Knowing the intimate details John has put forth in fighting with thirty year old memorys helps me in my own fight with a war that won't quit being replayed in my head.
