Description
A powerful, emotion packed trip through the mind of a Vietnam Vet disabled with PTSD. As with too many other young boys, he was sent to an unpopular war and experienced many traumas. Even though more than thirty years have passed, the realities of the war remain. Even with the best counseling and medications, the war is only kept at bay. There is no cure. At best there is only coping. The war will never be far away. It invades his days and nights. His poetic journal is sometimes dark. It is the reality of his war. Praise for a life won back. With utmost courage Greg has been able to transcend many adversities of life. As I read his journal...hauntingly honest.., I became overwhelmed by his writings. This history, his history is elegantly written, extremely painfully revealing. His newfound strength gained through his pain shows courage and compassion for those who have lost, have been lost...HIMSELF and others. He has opened himself to the world, with issues society wishes to hide from, for the entire world to see that personal assault can be conquered and used to help others. He has regained his self-respect! Greg has his life back. He began his travels many years ago and will continue for years to come. However, he will pass on to others what he has learned from his recovery process. All readers, men and women, will learn of HORROR and ´HOPE´. THE HERO HAS RETURNED HOME. Roger J. Girard M.ED, CTS, CAP
