Thanks to NetGalley for the audiobook ARC!

I'm not a military man myself, and I don't really come from a military background. I say that I don't really, because technically, my dad was in the Navy, but he was in and out before I was even born, and the only effect his military service had on me (that I can directly identify, anyway) is that he routinely fed us corned beef hash (from a can, of course) as children.

That being said, I have worked with a ton of veterans over the years, and I have seen the effect that military service, especially active duty in a combat zone, can have on a person. All of that emotion and trauma is captured perfectly in these stories. I found every single story to be compelling and engaging, and the narration was masterful as well. Definitely would recommend!

A heartbreaking and humbling account of how a squadron of soldiers adjust to life after war. We follow each man on his journey back to civilian life, and how we must readjust each day to fit within a world that no longer feels familiar.
