Linked story collection, winner of the 2011 Leapfrog Fiction Contest.Very relevant today with the war in Iraq just ended and an entire new generation of veterans living with the after effects of their war experiences. Relevant to contemporary readers because it focuses on the lives of returning soldiers made dysfunctional by the Vietnam War. One of the characters, a veteran, loses his son in Iraq thirty-five years from Vietnam—something else that is a reality for many American families today.This book goes beyond conventional war stories that typically take place in the country where the war is set and explores an interior war, the war of the psyche all soldiers fight when they return from the horrors of combat. For these characters, the war is physically over, but the events linger in their minds forever afterwards. These stories are about what people go through when they return from a combat zone, how they attempt to adapt and how they do or do not survive the nightmare locked in their psyches without the knowledge it takes to heal and alleviate their pain.
