Written by an ex Iraqi veteran this is an at times harrowing story of the after effects of the Iraq war on a returned soldier. It is sad, devastating in it's description of the personal toll on the main character, but at the same time the humanity of a soldier who promised a mother he would look out for her son-but failed and held himself responsible for the soldiers death. Kevin's style is spare as all the while it points to what is just out of sight or reach for the characters. Well worth the time to read, absorb and reflect on the cruelty of the effects on the soldiers and how they are virtually left to their own anonymity and with very little governmental support once they have laid everything on the line for their country and returned home.
