Like the Afghan war today and the ten-year-war in Iraq, the Vietnam War tore at the bodies and souls of those who served, particularly the nearly 1,100 Americans who lost multiple limbs and returned home from Vietnam to face a different kind of battle: acceptance. In this riveting first novel, winner of the Military Writers Society of America 2010 Silver Medal Award, author T.L. Gould draws upon his experience recovering in a military hospital to create a plain truth, no-holds-barred narrative, stark in its simplicity, detail and humor. From dressing changes and morphine drips to off-site forays under a fence and into neighborhood bars and brothels, Gould chronicles the precipitous journey to recovery of the men of Ward 2B; how they learned to walk again, to love again, and to triumph over the most impossible odds

Autorenporträt
T. L. Gould was raised in rural Missouri. In the fall of 1968, Gould enlisted in the US Navy during the Vietnam War era. In May 1969, he was involved in a horrific car accident and spent the next fifteen months in the US Naval Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he was lucky enough to share ward space with combat-wounded Marines and discovered what war can do to human beings—physically, mentally, and emotionally. After serving in the Navy from 1968 to 1971, Gould earned a bachelor’s degree in technical education from the University of Akron in Akron, Ohio, followed by a master’s in business administration from Baldwin-Wallace University in Berea, Ohio. He is currently retired after a thirty-year career in marketing, advertising, and public relations, and resides near Nashville.
