Walk a mile in the boots of a former soldier descending a personal downward spiral. Ride the manic highs and depressive lows as you are institutionalized among the human remnants of recent wars - soldiers long since forgotten - and those charged with their care.
Nathan Douglas Hansen takes you, the reader and patient, on a journey not so unlike many of his own, hospitalized several times for a debilitating disease - Schizo-Affective Bi-Polar Disorder. Here in his debut novella, Hansen hopes to bring light to the taboo subject of mental illness among our veterans.
Over 100,000 combat veterans have sought help for mental illness since the start of the war in Afghanistan in 2001. That number continues to grow. This book is dedicated to our men and women in uniform.
