Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Since coming home from the war, Tad Forte has led a solitary life in Charlestown, Rhode Island, doing his best to quiet the ghosts of Vietnam and the memory of Ellis Buck, the girl he loved. But Vietnam and a life without Ellis still haunt him. The thirty-year fragile truce with his past has begun to unravel. In search of answers, he decides to return to his hometown. His return leads him back to Ellis. They rekindle the fierce love they'd shared as teenagers, but Ellis is married and has a secret that threatens to rip Tad's world apart for a second time. Her only child, the consequence of one last night together, is Tad's daughter.'Bravo to author Ron Farina for giving us At the Altar of the Past. Competing against hundreds of Vietnam war stories, one more grisly than the other, Farina succeeds in wading past the slosh and delivers a unique, compelling reflection of regrettable choices, stolen moments of affection, and the devastating realization of love lost.

An unforgettable and highly-satisfying read.'-Steven Ostrowski, author of the forthcoming novel, The Highway of Spirit and Bone.------'Farina gives us a closely observed world, whether it be in the war zones of Vietnam or the small-time routines and rituals of New England life. The characters are unforgettable and their development shows a careful understanding of how the human mind and heart engage both pain and pleasure.'-Michael DiRaimo, Professor Emeritus, English, Manchester Community College.-----'One can tell in each line that Ron Farina knows well the horrors of war and the pain of lost love that lies at the heart of this gripping and achingly realistic novel.'-Erik Ofgang, co-author of The Good Vices.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Who Will Have My Back is a powerful collection of short stories that describe the often-overlooked, sometimes-invisible sacrifice and devotion of our nation's caregivers. Based upon personal interviews and firsthand observations, Who Will Have My Back is a testament to the work these men, women, and organizations perform on behalf of America's wounded warriors and fallen first responders.The real images, feelings and memories captured in these stories offer a deeper understanding of what it means to accept the mantle of caregiverand provide an intimate, personal glimpse into the real, everyday life experiences of actual caregivers.No parent ever imagines standing by a son's bedside, and having to tell him that he has lost both legs and a hand. But when that son whispers through lips still swollen from battlefield wounds that he wants to walk again, it takes more than a parent's love to makeand keepthe promise to do everything possible to help him walk; it takes a caregiver's heart. Who Will Have My Back lays bare, for all to see and feel, the caregiver's heart.
